Helping the world to see better

At Style-Eyes, we believe that clear vision is a fundamental human right. With 1.6 billion people worldwide living on less than $2.50 a day, the inability to access affordable and accurate spectacles is a critical issue. Our mission is to change that.

Founded by John Snelgrove, a dispensing optician with over 40 years of experience, Style-Eyes has developed “Optician in a Box,” a revolutionary product designed to bring quality eyewear to those who need it most. Our innovative solution combines affordability, style, and functionality, making it possible for individuals in developing countries to obtain the spectacles they need to improve their vision and, consequently, their lives.

Addressing the Need

Globally, 670 million people are unable to afford spectacles, and 200 million more need vision aids due to conditions like trachoma and cataracts. Traditional methods of distributing donated glasses are inadequate, often providing only approximate corrections and leading to dissatisfaction and non-use. The World Health Organisation acknowledges the necessity for a more effective solution.

Our Solution

"Optician in a Box" offers a new approach, allowing quick and easy assembly of glasses using pre-cut lenses. This method eliminates the need for expensive equipment and ensures accurate vision correction. Our product is designed to be lightweight, portable, and durable, featuring modules made from shock- and impact-resistant ABS plastic.

The Style-Eyes Advantage

Adaptability: Our spectacles cater to every individual, regardless of size, ethnicity, or environment. The unique modular design allows for precise fitting and adjustment, ensuring comfort and effectiveness.

Accessibility: With a quick onboarding process, new users can start producing glasses within minutes. The mobile design and easily transportable modules can be set up in just 10 minutes, making it ideal for remote and underserved areas.

Affordability: Each pair of glasses is extremely affordable, making quality vision accessible to even the lowest-income communities. Our globally reaching supply chain ensures that our starter module and refill lenses can be delivered anywhere in the world.

Ethical Business Model

For every pair of glasses sold on the high street, Style-Eyes donates a pair to an NGO, supporting the provision of eyewear to disadvantaged communities. This model not only addresses immediate vision needs but also promotes sustainable development and economic empowerment in these regions.

The Visionary Behind Style-Eyes

John Snelgrove's dedication to improving vision care stems from his extensive experience in providing domiciliary optician services to the homeless, elderly, and mentally ill. His innovative vision for modular, adaptable eyewear came to life during a motorbike journey across Europe, leading to the creation of Style-Eyes Ltd. Today, his pioneering work continues to make a profound impact on global vision care.

At Style-Eyes, our mission is clear: to ensure that everyone, regardless of their circumstances, has access to the vision correction they need. Through "Optician in a Box," we are transforming lives, one pair of glasses at a time.
