Vision Spring works on the vision to solve presbyopia

VisionSpring is solving the problem of presbyopia and helping more and more people find employment opportunities at the grass root level. And it does this in a very innovative way by distributing reading glasses to the people living in the villages and less developed areas of the country at a subsidized rate.

Till date it has been very successful in implementing its schemes. It has members, called Vision entrepreneurs (VE) who are given the incharge of the village they belong to and other adjoining areas. There main task is to spread awareness and hold camps for the same in the villages and testing the villagers for presbyopia and accordingly giving out reading glasses. It needed, they are also prescribed to a local eye-specialist. The VE are not the employee of the VisionSpring (India) but work with it on commission basis which they get on the sale of each reading glass.

VEs are given week long training where they are given the required knowledge and skills. Another way through which VisionSpring (India) functions is through Franchise operations. It ties up with local NGOs to make use of their networking channel in order to spread its word and the reading glasses. This method is mainly used for entering new areas for detecting and correcting presbyopia.

VisionSpring, founded by Dr Jordan Kassalow, is mainly US based but has large scale operations inIndiaand is connected with L.V. Prasad Eye institute in Andhra Pradesh and this is where its first pilot project started inIndia. It soon spread to other parts of the country with more and more NGOs taking up it franchise.

According to way2franchise, there are 500+ franchise brands inIndiaand the social developmentindustry has close to 15 players. The number of players doesn’t mean that the industry is not developed or not competitive or doesn’t have prospect for development. It is very attractive to help lift the weaker sections of the society for which we need to do our bit.

Good Advice for Beating Depression and the February Blahs! Good Advice for Beating Depression and the February Blahs! - Thanks everyone. Your feedback and tips are great. I have also been recommending to clients (and doing this myself) that they go back and revisit their mission/vision for their company. I find it recharges the meaning behind why we are working so hard. I also went to the salon for a girls day! Life does seem so much better when your toes look good. As far as isolation goes, I found the concept of building an Advisory Board/Team to be a huge benefit. With my team I can talk freely and openly and I have made some lifelong friendships to boot. Spring is just around the corner everyone....Keep up the great work! J
Re: To Recruit the Best Re: To Recruit the Best - [quote="ideasuniversity":11silpgi]I don't recruit anymore,since i discovered outsourcing.[/quote:11silpgi] Haha, it's true. Good point Yinka. Outsourcing can solve your low-level problems, however, what about top management, vision, and leadership? Sites like elance.com can hardly help you there. Cheers, Ringo.
Re: What I Enjoyed Reading This Week - Oct 14 Re: What I Enjoyed Reading This Week - Oct 14 - I really enjoyed the Improve your vision with an app article in the New Scientist. I don't wear glasses and think a lot of people cripple their vision by wearing specs from an early age instead of exercising their eyes... Nice to see someone has developed an ap that will help.
$1,000,000 $1,000,000 - Hi Evan, Are you talking about US Dollars? If so, that would be approx £500,000 in the UK. The Canadian Dollars differs also from the Australian Dollar. In any case, one needs to solve problems to help people to get money. The more solutions are given to people's needs to solve their problems, the closer one gets. Finally, are we talking about 'Income' or can we talk about 'Asset'? Kindest Regards Beat "Unlock People's Potentials!"
Depends on the conditions Depends on the conditions - If for example I give up ownership, but the owners commit to pursuing my vision with my product, then I will certainly considering giving up ownership. Contingent on my being able to buy back ownership in the event of incompetence or if the new owners fail to follow through with my vision.
