About EinDollarBrille e. V.

EinDollarBrille e. V. is a German non-profit NGO founded in June 2012 by Martin Aufmuth in Erlangen. It aims to establish basic eye care in developing regions by providing free vision screenings, training local “GoodVision” technicians, and distributing high-quality, low-cost eyeglasses known as “OneDollarGlasses” or “GoodVision Glasses.” Constructed locally using spring-steel wire frames and prefabricated lenses, these glasses cost around US $1 in materials and are sold for a few dollars—creating both social impact and sustainability. The association has trained over 600 full-time personnel in program countries and more than 300 volunteers in Germany.
