What We Do in Kenya
Our main objective is to eye test school children in some of the poorest areas of Nairobi, Kenya and provide them
with prescription glasses if required. All this is done free of charge for each child. Over the last year we have
been assisted by Opticians from Kenya Medical Training College who carry out the eye tests for us, then send the
prescriptions to us. We then manufacture the required spectacles in our factory in East Kilbride, then send them
back over to give someone the gift of sight.
What We Do In Scotland
We are currently developing a Visual Stress testing clinic for school children within our local area, which will
be up and running early this year. This clinic will offer a screening process to anyone who is experiencing reading
problems, and will lead to a fully comprehensive assessment, if deemed necessary. If Visual Stress issues are
detected, we will supply each patient with a relevant visual aid to help eradicate the visual stress issues.
We also offer tours and presentations to local schools and church/youth groups on the importance of eye health
and the need for corrective spectacles. This will include a presentation by an Optometrist on all aspects of the
eye examination, a tour of the manufacturing lab and a short presentation on our international projects. This
should last about 60 minutes.
