Optician Silmo d'Or award to the ClearReader+

Created in 1994, the award of the Silmo exhibition in Paris, France is a innovation and quality control mark which rewards the intrinsic values for innovation, technology and creativity in the field of ophthalmology. This year, the Optelec ClearReader+ won the first prize in the category Low Vision/Optical Instrument. The prize rewards "the creativity and inventive spirit" of the ClearReader+.
