Eyewa, a Dubai-based designer glasses online seller, raised $7.5 million during a funding round led by Wamda Capital.

During the round, Wamda Capital, which invests in tech firms operating in the MENA region, collaborated with six investors.

Eyewa will use the funds to increase its team and infrastructures as well as its expansion out of the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

The platform plans to enter the MENA region and to date, it has received a total of $8.6 million from investors.

Let’s note that in Morocco, the designer glasses market is estimated at MAD2 billion, according to a 2018 figure published by the Moroccan association of eyewear suppliers (association marocaine des fournisseurs d’optique).
