Future Outlook

As the company expands and new business opportunities emerge, we will take every business opportunity that will arise. In the near future we are planning to start our own lens production unit here in Dar es Salaam as there is no company that produces eye glass lenses in the country. We are also looking to start cataract and glaucoma surgeries. Currently, there is only one hospital that offers cataract surgery in Dar es Salaam.

In order to expand the business, we intend to purchase the shop slot where out current facility is based. We shall soon engage the owner for further discussions on this possibility.
