YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMillions of people around the world have bad eyesight, but can't afford the cost of eyeglasses. Children drop out of school as a result, grownups can't find a job. The project One Dollar Glasses wants to change that.
Martin Aufmuth from the German city of Erlangen has developed eyeglasses that only cost around a dollar to produce.
