GoodVision Glasses in the endurance test

The robustness and durability of glasses is important in many areas. To demonstrate durability and repairability, our GoodVision Technicians put the glasses through a real endurance test.

During training in Burkina Faso (West Africa), our GoodVision Technicians were to learn how to repair a pair of bent glasses for a customer. To do this, we first had to bend the frame. To do this, we first stepped on the glasses with our foot. However, this was not enough to deform the frame. Then we rolled over the glasses with the bike – but the frame wasn't really bent after that either.

... the frame was bent and the lenses were cracked. Dafrassin took his pliers and began the repair.

Then, after just two minutes, Daffrasin proudly put on the glasses he had repaired. Only the plastic lenses had suffered a few scratches.

These glasses are truly indestructible.
