More than 1,500 opticians and optometrists have participated in the first cycle of the PRATS Campus, an initiative developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Optics and Optometry of Terrassa (UPC). This training program, which offered high-level technical and clinical education, highlights the Prats Group’s commitment to continuous training and anticipates future collaborations with renowned universities in Spain.
The Spanish multinational, specialized in the design and manufacturing of ophthalmic lenses, has underscored the importance of this first call, which was free and aimed at strengthening professional development in the sector. Mauro Pellegrini, Global CSO – CMO of the group, commented that the notable number of attendees is a clear indicator of the need for continuous training initiatives. “The growth of the optician is the first step to caring for people’s visual health,” he stated.
The training cycle consisted of four online sessions led by UPC academics and covered key topics in optical practice. Participants received one hour of training on various subjects, such as lens positioning and centering, myopia control, the use of therapeutic filters, and prism adaptation, thus ensuring a thorough and relevant update aligned with the challenges faced by the profession.
This action falls within the strategic plan of Prats Group to promote an educational ecosystem that offers updated and relevant content. The company aims to establish permanent partnerships with universities and experts, reaffirming its commitment to excellence and knowledge transfer in the field of visual health.
Collaboration with UPC marks the beginning of a path that will expand in the coming months, with new training proposals both with this institution and with other prestigious academic entities in the country. Prats Group, with over a century of history and presence in 25 nations, reinforces its leadership role, not only through technological innovation but also by providing training and ongoing support to professionals in the sector.
At the conclusion of the cycle, Pellegrini thanked all participants for their trust and commitment to training as a key tool for professional growth, reaffirming that, at PRATS, the optician is always the center of attention.
