New visual health day for youth within the framework of the “Dinem Junts” program promoted by the Probitas Foundation

07/05/2025

Last Tuesday, May 6, a new day of ophthalmological check-ups took place in the town of Castellar del Vallés, promoted by the Probitas Foundation. 

This initiative, framed within the commitment to improve access to visual health for young people in situations of vulnerability, made it possible to attend to 30 minors between the ages of 8 and 16. During the activity, four of the participants were diagnosed as needing visual correction and will receive glasses in the coming days. One of the minors will require more detailed follow-up at the Barraquer Ophthalmology Centre, while the rest showed adequate eye health.

Founded in 2008, the Probitas Foundation works to guarantee the right to health in contexts of social exclusion, with special attention to children and adolescents both nationally and internationally.

From the Barraquer Foundation, we would like to deeply thank all the professionals involved in this charitable day, especially Dr. Nuria Cintas and Dr. Andrea Pastor, as well as Ana Rosanas, optometrist at General Optica.
