Modular spectacles are clearly a good idea

Style Eyes’ modular spectacle system Optician in a Box has reached the semi-final in the inaugural Clearly Vision Prize, a global competition for entrepreneurs to tackle the number one unaddressed disability in the world – poor vision.

The Clearly Vision Prize is part of an initiative run by Clearly, a global campaign with a mission of helping the people around the world to see. It has aimed to gather creative ideas from entrepreneurs, technologists, supply chain experts, data scientists and forward thinkers – including innovation currently used in other areas.

Style Eyes will now compete alongside 36 other entrepreneurs and innovators for one of five spots in the final, vying for part of the $250,000 of seed funding and mentoring to accelerate the best ideas.
