Ocuco are proud sponsors of Jason Smyth in his challenge to defend his title in the 100m race at the 2016 Paralympics in Rio this month.
Jason already has four Gold Paralympic Medals and holds three world records. The Irishman, crowned the ‘The Fastest Paralympian on the Planet’, tops the world rankings for the T13 category of the 100m and believes he can go even faster.
Jason lost his vision when he was 8 years old due to an inherited condition called Stargardt Disease, which causes severe macular degeneration. Alice Austin, Ocuco Sales and Marketing Director, says, “Jason is an inspiration to us all and we look forward to welcoming him home with, hopefully, another gold medal.”
We wish Jason the best of luck on September 9th in Rio.
