VisionSpring trains low-income women to sell affordable glasses to their community.

Warby Parker Connection
Neil Blumenthal previously served as VisionSpring's director and helped pioneer VisionSpring's model to train low-income women to sell affordable glasses in their communities. The model creates jobs for women and the economic incentive for them to continuously provide glasses as their customers lose or break their glasses and their prescriptions change. Equally important, it provides community
members the dignity to choose whether or not they want glasses and thereby avoids the culture of dependence that often accompanies foreign aid. Over five years, Neil expanded VisionSpring's programs to 10 countries and developed the first line of reading glasses for people living on less than $4 per day.
