Optical professionals in Greece are raising alarms regarding the sale of sunglasses through non-optical retail outlets. Concerns stem from recent decisions by the Minister of Health, Adonis Georgiadis, which allow these sales without the requirement of a qualified optician or optometrist present in the store. The Panhellenic Association of Opticians-Optometrists has strongly voiced its opposition, asserting that such practices pose significant risks to public health.
Experts warn that the absence of professional guidance when purchasing sunglasses increases the likelihood of consumers selecting inappropriate lenses. Many may believe they are adequately protecting their eyes when, in fact, the wrong lenses can lead to severe consequences for eye health. The Association has called for the recall of these decisions as they believe they undermine the safety and well-being of consumers.
