Company profile

Mamy Eyewear East Africa Limited

Mamy Eyewear East Africa Limited (trading as Mamy Eyewear) is a Kenyan optical retail company that was founded in 2021. Mamy Eyewear provides affordable prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses through a vertically integrated, direct-to-consumer business model that eliminates middlemen to offer transparent pricing. The company offers eyeglasses with prescription lenses, and provides free AI-powered eye tests at its branches. All frames are designed in-house in Paris, manufactured with premium materials, and assembled locally in Kenya, with prescription lenses sourced from Essilor. Headquartered in Nairobi at Merchant Square on Riverside Drive, the company operates multiple retail locations across Nairobi, including stores in Westlands (Kanha), the Central Business District (Hilton), Diamond Plaza, Imaara Mall, and Thika Road Mall. For every pair of eyeglasses purchased, the company finances a pair for someone in rural Kenya through its partnership with DOT Glasses, its "1 pair 4 eyes" social impact programme. Mamy Eyewear participated in the Techstars Toronto Accelerator Winter 2022 cohort and secured USD 120,000 in pre-seed funding. In January 2026, the company announced strategic investment from Japanese family office Ikemori Venture Support to support its expansion across East Africa.
