Dot Glasses is a social enterprise addressing the global crisis of uncorrected poor vision, which affects over 1 billion people, particularly in low-income and underserved regions. The company has developed a patented, modular eyeglasses system that dramatically simplifies vision testing and prescription delivery.
This includes one-size-fits-all adjustable frames, snap-in prescription lenses, a basic vision-testing toolkit, and a portable “optical shop in a bag” – all designed for delivery in under 10 minutes by a layperson with just three days of training. With a wholesale cost of USD 2 and a retail price between USD 3 and 6, the model ensures both affordability and sustainability for local distributors. By eliminating the need for optometrists and expensive retail infrastructure, Dot Glasses empowers local entrepreneurs and health organizations to bring vision care to last-mile populations quickly and affordably.
