It took a volunteering trip to the region for J\u00fcrgen to appreciate the severity of this endemic, and realise he had to do something about it. J\u00fcrgen knew he could truly make a difference, and we sat down to discuss SOL with him to find out how.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-467399\" src=\"http:\/\/melonoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Unsaved-Preview-Document-4.jpeg\" alt=\"Unsaved Preview Document 4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\\\\ What inspired you to start SOL? \/\/ <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8220;For a period of 3 months I worked voluntarily in a non-profit organisation in the areas of Ladakh\/Himalayas\/India. While over there, I got to know the eye problems that people had to suffer through, due to the strong sun and high altitude all year around. I knew I had to help them with sunglasses. When I got back to Germany, I started SOL, where I collect new and used sunglasses from both sunglass producers and individuals looking to help us achieve our goals.&#8221;<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-467402\" src=\"http:\/\/melonoptics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Unsaved-Preview-Document-5.jpeg\" alt=\"Unsaved Preview Document 5\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><em>sunglasses will decrease the rate of eye damage and disease<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">After setting up SOL, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">J\u00fcrgen realised what he needed to ensure that he could achieve his goal of helping the Himalayan people: Sunglasses! UV protected sunglasses to be precise. An essential accessory that we cherish for those bright and sunny days, sunglasses can offer the protection which would eradicate the serious eye damage and disease the Himalayan people continuously suffer from. We\u2019ve all got a pair or two of old sunglasses lying around that we don\u2019t wear anymore, right? Right, and J\u00fcrgen knew this.
