Glasses and spectacles

How to reuse or recycle eye glasses and spectacles.

Reuse

• Donate your old spectacles to Vision Aid Overseas (opens in a new window) or telephone 01293 535016 to find out more.
• Most opticians collect old spectacles that are sent to developing countries.
• Most charity shops also collect glasses.

Reduce

Opt for just new lenses instead of new frames when you are getting a new prescription.
