Research shows that around 20% people in the lower Gulf have Type 2 diabetes and diabetic patients are known to be at a higher risk of developing eye conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma and retinal vessel occlusion.
Rivoli Vision is today able to address such vision impairments through state-of-the-art Zeiss equipment such as Zeiss Visuscout 100, Zeiss i.Profiler Plus and Zeiss Visuplan 500 that help in pre-screening of general eye health to offer customers the opportunity of world class vision care coupled in a bespoke retail experience.
