What if a simple pair of glasses could transform your factory floor? In this episode of Shoe-In Show, Andy Polk sits down with Ramona Bajema, PhD, Senior Advisor of VisionSpring to talk about the Clear Vision Workplace program and why providing eyeglasses to factory workers is one of the most powerful and underutilized tools in footwear manufacturing today. The data is compelling: clear vision doesn't just improve worker wellbeing, it drives measurable gains in productivity, quality control, and sustainability outcomes across the supply chain. From Vietnam factories to global sourcing operations, Ramona shares real-world impact and makes the case for why every footwear brand should be paying attention. If you manage sourcing, supply chain, or sustainability for a footwear brand, this episode is a must-listen. How a $1.50 Pair of Glasses Can Change a Garment Factory's Bottom Line.
