Flat-Top Shades

Look Super Sleek and Stylish in These One-for-One '4sight' Sunglasses

— July 31, 2011 — Social Good
For every pair of '4sight' sunglasses that you purchase, the company provides a brand new pair of corrective eyeglasses to an individual in need. So, not only are these fashionable shades a great way to protect your eyes from potentially damaging sun rays, but they also allow you to change someone’s quality of life. Eyeglasses are a great solution to a widespread problem. The only issue is that not many people, especially in the Majority World, can afford quality eye-care and eyeglasses. Roughly one billion people around the world lack the proper eye-care that they desperately need.

The founder of 4sight sunglasses, Ben Midanek, started the company after his trip to South America and East Africa. Midanek realized that no one was wearing glasses, and while he was there, he learned that 1.3 billion people currently live without the proper eye-care that they need to live a healthy life -- that means that nearly 20% of the world’s population can’t see clearly. Ben Midanek started 4sight with the goal of making it easier to help. Midaneck believes that change can happen, even if it is done one person at a time.

Buying socially conscious but fashionable shades has never been easier with these flat top wayfarers. Not only will you gain a great pair of sunglasses when you purchase from 4sight, but you will also have the great pleasure in knowing you did something good for someone else.
