Once a person decides that he / she is done with his / her prescription glasses, most of us just throw it away. But there is a better option than that. Donate your used prescription glasses. Consider this: Almost three †fourth of the world blindness is unnecessary. Many of the more than 250 million visually impaired people worldwide could easily be helped with a pair of prescription glasses. But their inaccessibility to prescription glasses forces them to live with functional blindness †the inability to see well enough to do basic everyday tasks, such as reading, writing, cooking and earning a living. You can use the large network of Lions Club International volunteers to donate your prescription glasses. They accept old eyeglasses (both prescription and non †prescription), reading glasses and sunglasses, in both adult’s and children’s sizes. They clean and repair the used eyewear, which is then distributed to people who couldn’t afford to buy their own prescription glasses. All you have to do is to take your old pairs to a Lions Club eyeglass donation centre in your town. You can also check the eyewear donation web page of Lions Club for more information. There are other organisations as well, who deal in recycling used prescription glasses, like www.charityguide.org, Goodwill Industries and many more. These prescription glasses might have lost their value to you, but to the needy, these used pairs can offer invaluable help. So, go ahead and help the world see better.
