SOLO Eyewear is a unique line of hybrid bamboo sunglasses where each pair purchased help funds a pair of reading glasses and a cataract surgery for someone in need. The concept for SOLO Eyewear was developed in a classroom at San Diego State University. Jenny was enrolled in the MBA Program. While completing an International Entrepreneurship course, she was given the option to read Paul Polak’s Out of Poverty. While reading the book, she discovered there was a great need for eye care around the world and decided to research the issue further. Jenny, who has poor vision, encountered two startling statistics: approximately 1 billion people do not have access to eye care and nearly 80% of the world’s blindness is preventable. (World Health Organization) These statistics were a call to action… the idea for SOLO Eyewear was born. It wasn’t until meeting Craig and Dana at the Entrepreneurship Center on campus that the idea became a reality. Craig and Jenny hit the ground running, meeting with local entrepreneurs and advisers while Dana put her design skills to work developing all of the amazing graphics and website. Since launching in 2011, SOLO Eyewear has restored vision for 3,000 people in need across the world.
