There have been quite a few who thought climate change was just a buzzword. However, year after year, even the most skeptical are beginning to realize that, far from being a trend, climate change is one of the biggest concerns of the modern world—one that brings with it the need for global recalibration across all aspects of human society.

As the green, circular, and digital transition accelerates, companies also need to adapt and, in many cases, fundamentally change the way they operate.

“The campaign’s results confirmed the critical importance of prevention in pediatric ophthalmology. The fact that we identified at least one child with undiagnosed vision problems in every kindergarten we visited clearly shows that periodic consultations must become an essential practice in early education,” stated Rareș Ciubotaru, Infosan - Spital de Oftalmologie Executive Director and coordinator of the eye screening campaign.

“Vision problems in children are often silent and can go unnoticed by parents and educators, especially in the absence of obvious symptoms. However, untreated conditions can have serious long-term consequences, including partial or total vision loss. Screening helps us uncover potential issues. That’s why we emphasize that eye evaluations should be done annually, even if there are no evident signs, because most of the time children can’t articulate what they’re experiencing,” added Dr. Andreea Ciubotaru, Medical Director of Infosan Hospital and Vice President of the Romanian Society of Strabismus and Pediatric Ophthalmology.
