1 for 1 Vision Africa





The Need

The World Health Organization estimates that 670 million people are currently living without glasses that they need, and that poor vision is costing the global economy up to $400bn per year through lost opportunities & productivity, prevention of education & literacy and general loss of health.
There are many reasons for a lack of suitable people who are able to prescribe glasses. Reduced access to training and no funding for eyecare professionals are the leading causes. In the UK there is an optometrist to serve every 8,400 people, but in parts of sub- Saharan Africa this ratio can be as poor as one optometrist for every 1,000,000 people.


The Eyejusters Solution

Eyejusters are self-adjustable glasses that allow anyone to correct their own vision. The plastic lenses change their power as you turn a dial, so you just have to keep turning until you can see most clearly. There are two variants of Eyejusters which cover long-sighted and short-sighted people, as well as those who need reading glasses. They’re a pair of glasses and a vision screening all in one product, significantly reducing the costs associated with providing basic vision correction services.
They can be distributed by anyone with very basic training. We provide vision charts and training materials, and they can be easily added to existing distribution programmes – all you need is the glasses, a vision chart and a few minutes.
You can remove and re-attach the dial at any time, so one pair can be shared by several people, or can be changed to allow near vision for those who would normally need a separate pair of distance and reading glasses.
