These glasses, crafted from thin plastic plates using laser cutting technology, offer customization and ease of assembly. Packaged in compact cylindrical cases, they are convenient for distribution and storage. By utilizing recycled materials, these glasses contribute to environmental conservation efforts. More importantly, they have a significant impact on the lives of children, enabling them to access affordable and tailored vision correction.
