February is traditionally associated with love. However, as well as love for others, this is also an ideal month to emphasise the importance of self-love and health care. Looking after your eyesight is an essential gesture of prevention and well-being, with a direct impact on quality of life, daily comfort and autonomy.<\/span><\/p>\n
