Adaptive Eyewear came up with a cheap pair of glasses for people in developing nations that can be adjusted by the wearer. They set themselves a first goal to provide everyone in Ruanda (10 mio people, 4 optometrists) who needs prescription glasses with a pair of these adaptive ones so that they can go to school and find or continue to work like everyone else.
Considering my poor eyesight, I feel lucky to live in a part of the world where it’s easy to come by glasses and contact lenses. I’d hardly be able to function without prescription eyewear, and so I hope that Adaptive Eyewear’s project is successful. Support it, if you like: http://www.adaptive-eyewear.org/about/donors.php - 15$ will provide another pair of adaptive glasses.
