About us

Website: http://dotglasses.org/

Our purpose is to make basic eye care affordable and accessible to everyone.

Globally, 1 billion people need, yet cannot access, corrective eyeglasses, making it the largest unmet disability in the world. East Africa is home to 50 million of these people. For example, in Kenya 7.5 million people need eyecare, yet only 1.6 million can visit an eyecare provider. This results in over 75% of cases of vision impairment being preventable. This is made worse as even low-quality glasses are expensive, costing more than USD 20.

This has a huge impact on people’s lives. Vision is our most dominant sense. Without glasses it is challenging to earn an income, learn or live a quality life. It also hinders all development agendas governments and agencies may have. A student without glasses is 3x more likely to fall behind! Simply wearing glasses improves incomes by 18%, meaning people do not rely on others for daily tasks - which reduces exposure to financial theft and fraud.

Our solution is a revolutionary, award winning, design of eyeglasses frame and testing process that can be done without a vision care specialist. Dot Glasses distributors can provide eyeglasses for only KES 800 on average. The testing and assembly for each client is done instantly within 5 minutes. The glasses are sold through a diverse network of distribution partners in 8+ countries.

As we transition from start-up to scale-up, we’re looking for an energetic Customer engagement & follow-up assistant to play a critical role in increasing conversions, customer satisfaction, and retention.
