Optometry

Anguyo D.

Anguyo is an experienced and visionary optometry professional who has specifically leveraged his international professional experience to advance eye care in Uganda. After spending several years in the United Kingdom, he became familiar with the high standards of optometric care there. This experience shaped his entrepreneurial vision of making comparable quality accessible in Uganda as well.

In 2002, he used his personal savings to found his own eye clinic. From the very beginning, his goal was to provide professional, reliable, and high-quality optometric services. With over 35 years of experience and a clear professional vision, he is considered the driving force behind the company. He is particularly committed not only to treating patients but also to the sustainable development of the profession in Uganda.

Project description

Today, his company is a well-established provider of comprehensive eye care services in Uganda. The company offers professional optometric examinations, consultations, and eyewear, and has built a reputation for trustworthiness through clinical excellence, reliable customer service, and ongoing professional development.

One distinctive feature is the company’s in-house training program for skilled workers. Through a basic course in optics developed in-house, employees in both technical and customer-facing roles receive ongoing training. In this way, the company ensures that the quality of its services is maintained and continuously improved over the long term.

In addition to building his company, Anguyo is also committed to training new professionals. Together with a colleague, he founded Uganda’s first school of optometry, which continues to play a vital role in providing eye care nationwide. Looking ahead, he plans to further expand his business model and reach additional regions through a franchise model.

With BPN's support, Anguyo can continue to develop its expansion strategy in a targeted manner, strengthen its internal structures, and make high-quality optometric services available to a wider audience.
