Eyeland Eye Wear

As a company with strong family values and sense of community, Eyeland Eyewear was founded on the principle of providing quality eye care products and services that any and all Jamaicans can afford. That works directly in tandem with our mission of impacting our World by leading with our best and healthiest eyes.

For many years we dedicated ourselves to serving and building our community, investing in the pursuit of quality education for young students with impaired vision. In 2013 we launched our island wide ‘Grade Six Achievement Test (GSAT) Initiative’, where between the months of July and August we offer scholars-in-waiting free prescription eyewear. We sponsored over $20,000,000.00 worth of eyeglasses during that period Based on the helpful feedback from our community, four years in and we’re revisiting the program module to provide even more value.

Introducing our revised program; ‘Framing Futures’. Improving how our children see is improving how our children learn. Clear and concise vision is an imperative part in learning from your environment. It is in hearing and seeing that children are able to best benefit from a quality education. To cement our commitment to continued construction of a better more educated Jamaica, Eyeland Eyewear is offering free prescription eyewear all year round to GSAT students in waiting.

Every Day 5 children between the ages of 9 and 11 may get their eyes examined to determine the status of their vision at a cost of $1,500. That’s just about 1,300 children among 13 stores island wide every month! Once corrective lenses are required, Eyeland Eyewear will gift each child a prescription lens and frame collectively valued at up $30,000.00, completely free. The package will include a Single vision uncoated hard plastic pair of lens (of any prescription) with accompanying frames selected from our Factory Direct collection.

In continuation of our mission we periodically insert teams of highly trained and committed eye care experts into school programs to educate teachers and parents of the importance of yearly eye examinations. Through your support, we hope to educate Jamaica on how we are providing an important part of the framework of a successful academic future for all our youth. Personally, by simply pledging your support to our business to purchase your first or next prescription eyewear from Eyeland Eyewear, you’ll help in ensuring that we may be able to continue framing the futures of our youth to the best of our ability.

Let’s change our World together!
