100,000+ Lives Impacted
Dot Glasses’s innovation is transforming access to eye care by bringing affordable glasses and vision services directly into underserved communities. For too long, poor eyesight has limited people’s ability to learn, work, and live with confidence. By integrating simple yet powerful solutions such as on-site vision screenings, photochromatic and reading glasses, and awareness campaigns, Dot Glasses are breaking down barriers that once kept clear vision out of reach.
The direct impact has been life-changing: farmers now plant and harvest more effectively, students read and learn with greater ease, and small business owners manage their work with accuracy and confidence. Beyond improved productivity, families report stronger independence, reduced eye strain, and greater participation in daily and community life.
Since launch, Dot Glasses have reached hundred of thousands of people through mobile clinics, local partnerships, and community outreach. Key milestones include training field officers to deliver basic eye care, building partnerships to expand distribution, and piloting innovative support kits that ensure sustainable impact.
By making eye care accessible and practical, this innovation is not only restoring sight, it is improving livelihoods, unlocking opportunities, and strengthening the well-being of entire communities.
The Innovation
Dot Glasses’s innovation delivers affordable, accessible eye care by embedding vision services into existing community and other networks. At its core, the solution provides simple but transformative tools—vision screenings, affordable eyeglasses, and awareness campaigns—through trusted local partners and field officers. This model ensures that eye care reaches people where they live and work, removing barriers of cost, distance, and awareness that often prevent access.
Currently implemented in rural and peri-urban communities across Kenya, the initiative reaches farmers, students, traders, and families who have historically lacked reliable vision services. Through mobile clinics, pop-up vision camps, and distribution integrated with farm input networks, thousands of people have gained access to clear vision.
What makes this approach unique is its integration into daily life—linking eye care with farming, education, and livelihoods. By bundling screenings and glasses distribution with trusted service providers, Dot Glasses ensure sustainability and community ownership.
Looking ahead, Dot Glasses plan to scale this model internationally, expanding partnerships, training more local vision champions, and piloting digital tools for record-keeping and awareness. The organisation’s ultimate goal is to make clear vision a basic service available to everyone, unlocking productivity, confidence, and healthier lives.
