950 million people worldwide need glasses but cannot afford them. EinDollarBrille (internationally GoodVision) is working to change that, by bringing affordable glasses and professional eye care to underserved communities.

Explore the work of EinDollarBrille at three interactive stations throughout the event:
Step inside a replica of an eye camp and see how the locally trained technicians provide vision screenings and affordable glasses for local communities. A simple pair of glasses means far more than clearer sight: it restores independence, opens doors to education and work, and helps people regain a sense of agency and self-worth. Demo 3 pm

At the demo stand, discover how a simple idea became a global social innovation and how durable spring steel frames are made using simple tools – no electricity required.

Join the hands-on activity at 12.30 pm: Bend your own mini pair of glasses to take away as a small reminder that sometimes the simplest ideas can make the biggest difference.
