Launched on the 19th of April this year, the project reached the goal of distributing 25,000 spectacles free of charge among deserving Sri Lankans, in all corners of the country, through 6 mega events and 40 branches of the organization.

Eye testing dates: June 06 – 09, 2017

As the first step of this initiative, applications were called for, where beneficiaries made submissions at the company’s branches, on a first-come-first-serve basis. This was followed by testing events which were predetermined appointments for a comprehensive eye test. Based on these tests, the orders were processed through a dedicated channel of glass-making created to cater for this project, ensuring speedy delivery. Finally, the spectacles were distributed among the applicants at scheduled awarding events at the respective locations.
