"Finalmente un test certo! Grazie al nuovo oculista che ha finalmente trovato il modo di capire il mio problema."
"Per una problematica di occhio secco, il mio oculista mi ha proposto un tampone oculare, esame non invasivo e che gli ha permesso, attraverso la lettura dell'esito del tampone di consigliarmi il prodotto più indicato. Consigliatissimo."
