Do you have old glasses that you don’t wear anymore? Has your vision changed and you got new glasses? Did you have readers in every room but now you have bifocals? (I do) What did your old glasses become? CLUTTER.
I just saw a program by Nationwide Vision and the Lions Club. They take your old glasses and give them to those in need.
Clean out your stash of old glasses and Frame it Forward. Below is the link to Nationwide and the Lions Club’s centers
Nationwide vision frame it forward campaign
The Lions Club has Recycling eyeglasses at 18 centers worldwide.
Frame it forward and clean out clutter! Sounds like a win win!!
Thanks Pamela

I was finally able to replace my ten year old glasses this year and gave all the old readers and my former bifocals to the Lion’s club. Have been doing that ever since I married my George. His dad was the head of our local Lion’s club and would have had a fit if we didn’t donate our old ones. now it is just a habit.

Our eye doctor has a basket right in his office for the old frames. He donates them for us.

We thought about that…but then Mel has high astigmatism and it may not be suitable for other!

You never know they might be needing exactly that.

I had forgotten all about Lion’s Club- thanks for the reminder! I will definitely be donating once I get new glasses.
