Greece has issued a warning about counterfeit eye treatments, according to Yahoo News Singapore. The alert covers practices including iridology and exercise programs that claim to let people stop wearing glasses.
Yahoo News Singapore reports the concern centers on therapies that lack a legitimate medical basis but are still offered to patients seeking help with their vision.
Iridology is the practice of diagnosing health conditions by examining the iris of the eye. The "no-glasses" methods referenced in the warning involve exercises promoted as a way to correct eyesight without corrective lenses.
According to Yahoo News Singapore, Greek officials are treating the spread of these unproven treatments as a public health matter. The report does not specify how many cases or providers are involved, nor does it name the authorities issuing the alert.
The warning fits a broader pattern in which unregulated eye care claims circulate alongside conventional ophthalmology. Because the source material provides only a headline and summary, further specifics on the Greek action are not available.
What to watch next: whether Greek health authorities publish formal guidance or enforcement measures targeting providers of these therapies.
