One of the winners of Index Awards: Design to improve life, is project See better to learn better by Yves Behar. It provides a low cost collection of customizable and corrective eyewear that is specifically designed for children and young people ages 6-18 years.
“The whole program for a child to get a pair of glasses – with the eye exam, the making of custom lenses, custom frames, the assembly, putting in a carrying box and shipping to the child cost only $10. So it is pretty obvious for the Mexican government to invest that little in their student population”, says Yves Behar.
Brilliant.
