Optical software operating in Medellín

Medellín went from an industrial city to the capital of innovation in Latin America: textiles, software and a "paisa" commercial culture recognized as a salesperson. In areas like El Poblado, Laureles, Envigado, Centro, optics they compete every day for the same patients: responding first, getting paid without friction and keeping them coming back is the difference.
