Eliseo Juárez CEO of Mol optics said in the interview that they have developed various initiatives to offer affordable glasses and provide free eye exams, particularly in low-income communities. Initiatives such as recycling old glasses so that they can be reused by people who can’t afford them and reaching out to low income communities to provide free eye exams. These actions help to reduce consumption and production of glasses and it makes an impact in people who can’t afford getting eye exams or buying prescription glasses.
