Style Eyes - a new spectacle frame design for developing countries, high street retail, sunglasses using Buy One Donate One as a supply route for millenium 2020.

世界上大约65%的人口需要矫正视力--通常通过眼镜来提供。西方世界获得视力矫正的比例最高，超过50%的人口可以获得矫正眼镜。美国有超过1.8亿配戴矫正眼镜的人，每年售出超过8500万副眼镜。西欧每年的眼镜销量超过8000万副，仅英国就售出1200万副。相比之下，发展中国家获得视力矫正的机会非常少--仅占中国的15%，印度的8%，非洲人口的不到3%。Style Eyes创造了一种独特的模块化眼镜框架设计，经过概念验证并获得专利，完全可适应，适用于世界上任何人，无论大小、种族、性别和环境。镜框中使用的标准镜片可以纠正广泛的光学需求，包括固定数量的镜片选择中的散光。通过这种方式，一个标准的镜框和镜片组可以用来在广泛的人群中提供最佳的视觉。在接下来的12个月里，Style Eyes框架的设计需要通过研究和开发进一步完善，以实现可以使用批量制造技术可靠地制造的商业原型。我们的愿景是创建一个名为Style Eyes的社交眼镜品牌，其使命是让地球上的每个人都能获得良好的视觉。凭借我们每年向西方市场销售的1.6亿副眼镜的‘买一捐一’的精神，我们计划纠正发展中国家在良好视力和眼镜供应方面的不平衡。Style Eyes认为，世界上每个人都应该有机会拥有一副有个人处方的眼镜。

Around 65% of the world’s population needs vision correction – usually provided by spectacles. Access to vision correction is highest in the Western World, with over 50% of the population having access to corrective eyewear. The US has over 180 million wearers of corrective eye-wear with over 85 million spectacles sold every year. Over 80 million spectacles are sold every year in Western Europe – 12 million in the UK alone. By contrast, the Developing World has very low access to vision correction – only 15% of China, 8% of India and less than 3% of Africa’s population.Style Eyes has created, concept-proven and patented a unique, modular design of spectacle frame that is completely adaptable with a universal fit for every person in the world regardless of size, ethnicity, sex and environment. A standard lens used in the frame corrects a broad range of optical needs including astigmatism from a fixed number of lens choices. In this way, a standard frame and lens set can be used to deliver optimal vision across a wide human population.Over the next 12 months, the Style Eyes frame design needs further refinement via research and development to achieve a commercial prototype that can be manufactured reliably using volume manufacturing techniques.Our vision is to create a social brand of spectacles called ‘Style Eyes’ with a mission to make good vision accessible to everyone on the planet. With our ethos of ‘Buy One – Donate One’ on all spectacles sold into the Western market of 160 million every year, we plan to redress the imbalance in good vision and spectacle availability across the Developing World. Style Eyes believes that every person in the world should have the opportunity to own a pair of spectacles with their individual prescription.
