Does anyone know of any charities that accept donations of unused daily contact lenses? I have quite a few and I'm too tight to donate them back to the optician :o Thanks

    I don't think they can be legally redistributed, unless it was under the supervision of a registered Optician. It might be worth selling them to the Optician and then donating the proceeds to the charity. Although, they won't be of much use to the Optician, unless they are in sealed cartons.
    Beware the character seeking personal gain masquerading as a moral crusader.
