Scojo Foundation lives on as Vision Spring

This morning as I went through doing my usual daily checks for our industry I came across a press release under keyword "reading glasses" talking about a company/foundation called Vision Spring. As I read through the article seen here:

It all sounded so familiar. Very similar to the model Scojo in it's early days once used with their Scojo Foundation program. I decided to do a little more research and sure enough as I went to the website for the foundation I saw Jordan, one of the original founders of ScoJO. I have often wondered what happened to the philanthropic part of Scojo once OGI took over the product line and am happy to say, from what I saw this morning it is still going strong!

People in third world countries or impoverished villages often need to retire from their trades once presbyopia sets in around age 40. Tailors can no longer see to thread needles or do fine stitching and wood workers can no longer see fine detail. The same can be said for weavers, painters, and any number of other types of craftsmen or factory workers. By offering these people a simple pair of over the counter reading glasses their lives can continue on. It is hard to believe something so readily available to us in the US are not only hard to come by in certain areas but the lck of them can have such serious results.
