What can you do to maintain your freedom and independence when your vision deteriorates? SynsExpo has some excellent answers.
SynsExpo is an interactive exhibition at Health & Rehab 2025 that focuses on raising awareness of the challenges associated with visual impairment and the solutions available.
"We want to create as much awareness as possible about the everyday challenges associated with visual impairment and what can be done about it."
-- Per Michael Larsen, Director of the Danish Association of Opticians
The exhibition is designed as a home environment where visitors can experience what it is like to live with low vision. Four main approaches to assistance are presented: magnifying products, lighting, contrast solutions and digital tools.
SynsExpo is aimed at citizens, relatives and professionals outside the field of eye care. The project is not about selling products but about informing people and connecting professionals with those in need.
The initiative was developed through collaboration between the Vision Centre in Vordingborg, CSU-Slagelse, IBOS, several eye-care organisations and research institutions. The project is funded by the Velux Foundation and is supported by the information platform "Advice on Vision."
