Does anyone know of any charities that need unused glasses?

Thanks in advance

    I have seen people handing them in to Oxfam, but my local independant optician also collects them to send abroad.

    Try Dollond & Aitchison they send them away to Fight for Sight for third world countries. Oxfam used to collect them but they don't anymore. x
