Spanish optical sector technological and health developments

Overview

The Spanish optical sector is undergoing developments focused on digital tools, business methodology, and sustainable products.

Initial advancements included the introduction of MétodoPRO, a structured business methodology designed to help professionals compete through value, and the launch of Optical Fit Pro, a digital platform using tablet technology for precise lens centering and visual demonstrations.

Subsequent developments have expanded into sustainable manufacturing and public health initiatives. Grupo Prats introduced PRATS BIO, a range of plant-based lenses utilizing biomass-certified materials to reduce CO2 emissions. Additionally, the General Council of Opticians-Optometrists (CGCOO) has highlighted the importance of pediatric eye care, noting the role of the Plan VEO initiative in providing subsidies for minors' vision aids through the national network of optical establishments.
