Vithas hospitals in Alicante reinforce their commitment to innovation in visual health by sponsoring and participating in Optoinnova 2026, a national reference scientific conference held at the University of Alicante.

Specialists from the Ophthalmology Unit of Vithas Alicante and Vithas Medimar are participating in the eleventh edition of this scientific event, which will take place on May 7 and 8 at the "Alfredo Orts" Lecture Hall. The event has consolidated itself as an essential meeting point for optometrists, ophthalmologists, and optical specialists from all over the country.
This year's edition focuses on the transfer of knowledge between the academic and clinical fields. The Vithas centers in the province, recently integrated into the Alicante Futura ecosystem as partners committed to innovation, seek to promote the continuous training of professionals in the sector through this support.

"For Vithas, being part of Optoinnova is not just a sponsorship; it is an opportunity to showcase the results of our commitment to R&D&i and to collaborate closely with the University of Alicante in improving our patients' visual health."
