Education is a fundamental value at Théa, and one that underpins our commitment to improving the dissemination of knowledge in the field of eye health. For Théa, innovation alone is not enough to improve eye health; education and training play an equally crucial role.
Théa supports numerous educational projects and activities aimed at training and informing young ophthalmologists as well as more experienced professionals. This includes support for initiatives designed by and for young doctors, training programs in eye surgery techniques and international clinical case competitions.
Théacademy is a platform that brings together all Théa's initiatives to disseminate knowledge. It offers a range of resources designed to help professionals succeed in their careers, and to enable experts to share their practice in the field of eye health.
Théa focuses on three key objectives to support tomorrow's ophthalmologists: supporting the European Board of Ophthalmology (E.B.O.) to offer European excellence in ophthalmology, encouraging young doctors' initiatives at European congresses, and providing training and development opportunities for young surgeons.
Théa encourages innovation and research in eye health by supporting initiatives such as clinical case competitions, advanced training programs and collaborations with academic institutions and professional associations. This approach aims to stimulate scientific progress and foster the emergence of new solutions to improve the care of patients with eye disorders.
TROPHY (Théa euRopean cOntest of clinical cases in PatHologies of the eYe) is an international competition for clinical cases. It offers participants the opportunity to present their work at renowned congresses, thereby contributing to the dissemination of knowledge and the recognition of young researchers in ophthalmology.
Pathology
It is essential to maintain proper eye hygiene by washing your hands before touching your eyes, avoiding excessive eye rubbing, and protecting your eyes from UV rays with sunglasses. Additionally, regular visits to an ophthalmologist are recommended to detect any eye problems early on.
It is important to consult a healthcare professional, such as an ophthalmologist or a pharmacist, to get personalized recommendations for choosing eye drops that suit your specific needs. Théa offers a wide range of preservative-free eye drops to cater to different sensitivities or allergies.
To reduce eye strain caused by computer, phone, or tablet screens, it is recommended to practice the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds), blink regularly to prevent dry eyes, and adjust screen brightness and contrast for optimal comfort.
Taking care of your eyelids is essential for overall eye health. Eyelids protect your eyes from foreign bodies and help distribute the tear film for adequate hydration of the eye surface.
It is recommended to clean your eyelids at least once a day, preferably before bedtime, to remove impurities accumulated throughout the day. However, if you wear makeup, make sure to remove it carefully every night to avoid irritations
Signs such as persistent redness, eye pain, blurred or distorted vision, unusual discharge, or sudden changes in vision require immediate consultation with a healthcare professional to evaluate and treat any underlying eye problems.
To maintain good eyelid hygiene, we recommend gently cleansing the eyelids and base of the eyelashes with products specially designed for ocular hygiene, avoiding irritating or aggressive products. Laboratoires Théa offers eyelid hygiene solutions to help prevent conditions such as blepharitis and itchy eyes.

Fondation Théa
The Fondation Théa was established in 2012. It is a humanitarian organization dedicated primarily to eye health, particularly through medical training and the fight against trachoma.
Paul Chibret (1844-1911) was an eye health specialist who encountered trachoma in North Africa. His determination to combat the disease led him to create the Société Française d'Ophtalmologie in 1883, laying the foundations for the activities of the Fondation Théa.
The Fondation Théa's two main priorities are the training of medical staff in the field of ophthalmology and the fight against trachoma, particularly in French- and Portuguese-speaking African countries.
The Fondation Théa is committed to training programs designed to enhance the skills of ophthalmic healthcare professionals, helping to improve eye care worldwide.
The Fondation Théa aims to ensure access to eye care for the most vulnerable populations, and to share its knowledge and expertise in the field of eye health for a lasting and positive impact on a global scale.
The Jean and Jacques Chibret Prize, launched when the Fondation Théa was first established, is designed to shine the spotlight on up-and-coming and established African ophthalmologists. It is awarded every year in May, during the congress of the Société Française d'Ophtalmologie (SFO), which brings together over a hundred African ophthalmologists.
