Empowering Lives Through Clear Vision

Jambo and Karibuni!  My name is Nizar Mamdani. I was born in a small town in Tanzania, East Africa and was educated in both Tanzania and Japan.  Along with my wife, Marsha Mamdani, Ph.D., we established First Sight Eyeglasses, Inc, a 501(c)3 organization dedicated entirely to revolutionizing global vision care by providing affordable and accessible eyeglasses in under ten minutes.

We believe that your individual or your organization’s commitment to improving lives aligns seamlessly with our mission. By integrating First Sight eyeglasses into your programs, together, we can take a significant step toward enhancing educational outcomes and overall quality of life for those affected by vision problems. 

​First Sight is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to addressing one of the most common yet overlooked challenges in developing regions: vision impairment. Our solution is uniquely tailored to meet the needs of individuals in areas with limited resources.
