Old Pairs Of Glasses

[chanel5]

Hi everyone, I have quite a number of prescription glasses (vari-focals and reading glasses) that I have accumulated over the years. Does anyone know of a charity that could make use of these? It seems a shame to throw them out.

I believe Oxfam shops used to take them, these guys certainly do http://www.visionaidoverseas.org/recycle/opticians

google 'recycle glasses' for info on charities that take old glasses

I think some Vision Express and Specsaves shops take them, but call them first to check.

Thanks everyone, I had googled but as I live in NI it was not really showing anything near me where I could drop them off. I will try Oxfam as they have a shop within driving distance.

Your local opticians will take them.
