The story of Constant

With initiative and flair to a permanent position.

Constant is 30 and has been blind for several years. One day he heard about GoodVision and asked if they had any work for him – he would even work for free if only he could do something useful.

175 glasses per month

Our team showed Constant how to bend glasses. The new bending machine has special engravings for blind people to touch. What nobody initially thought possible: Constant now produces 175 spectacle frames per month. His income enables him to support his wife and daughter. "I'm very happy and all I hope is that I can keep this job."
