Sight for Sore Eyes

As part of its aim to make Indian roads safer, Titan Eye+ launched an innovative drive to address a critical issue that endangers lives on the road—compromised vision among professional drivers. On ‘World Sight Day,’ the optics retailer introduced the 'Eye Test Menu,' a creative solution aimed at reaching truck drivers who are always on the move and often overlook the importance of eye care in their demanding schedules. They set up eye test camps at strategic locations such as dhabas where truck drivers take their pit stops, transforming the typical experience of stopping for a meal into an opportunity for eye care. Watch the film here.
