WASHINGTON D.C.—On April 14, Safilo Group sponsored the “Breakfast with Optometry’s Champions” on behalf of their Kids by Safilo initiative during The American Optometric Association’s (AOA) Congressional Advocacy Conference that was held here April 12 to 14.

More than 500 influential AOA-member doctors of optometry and students attended this conference to focus the national spotlight on the profession and help advance optometry’s top priorities. Bruce Abramson, Safilo’s North America director of brand management, proprietary brands, made a five-minute well-received presentation to the audience about the Kids by Safilo optical collection which launched this month and was designed with a medical scientific approach for 0 to 8 year-olds, the company said.
