If you’re anything like me, you’ve got at least one or two pairs of long since worn specs somewhere in a drawer. We keep them because we paid an arm and a leg for them and don’t want to toss them, or because if our current ones break we want back ups, right? Oh pooh.... Who actually uses their old glasses? It’s time to find a new home for ‘em.
How about helping out someone else?
I remember the first time I put my glasses on (after ditching them for a few years) and seeing the leaves on the trees, the definition and beauty of the skyline. Help share that feeling by sending your unused glasses to someone who will appreciate them!

Groups such as the Lions Club can recycle eyeglasses for as little as 8 cents each. But they cannot do it without your help.
Donate your old eyeglasses and sunglasses to help people with eyesight difficulties worldwide. Note that sunglasses can be non-prescription. They are needed in countries near the equator to help protect people's eyes from sun damage.
Collection facilities include:
Goodwill Industries stores
LensCrafters stores
Lions Club drop boxes.
Items can be sent in padded envelopes or boxes to:
New Eyes for the Needy
549 Millburn Avenue
P.O. Box 332
Short Hills, NJ 07078
E-mail your friends who wear glasses to see if they have old pairs to get rid and collect them for donation.
I got this post as a google alert and I must say it's great to see attention brought to this cause. My brother and I created a wholesale glasses company built around our donating a pair to New Eyes for every pair that we sell. They are an inspiring group of people to work with.
