If you are on this site and reading this post you can probably agree that a clear need for reading glass frames and lenses after a certain age by the majority of individuals exists. However did you ever continue down that train of though to realize that if you started to lose your near vision and didn't have reading glasses readily available that loss of vision could be synonymous with your loss of livelihood?

Many people in underdeveloped countries, living in rural areas who rely upon their roles as craftsmen or factory workers suffer this reality everyday. If their near vision begins to wane they can't see to complete the finer detail aspects of their jobs. If they can't complete their jobs they can't get paid. Why not just buy a pair of glasses you ask? This is an option we take for granted here in the U.S. as we often have both the money to do so and the easy access to product.

In comes VisionSpring, formerly Scojo Foundation, to address this need and assist thousands of people to get back on track to being productive.
