How do I donate eyeglasses?
You can donate eyeglasses at your local eyeglass collection location. To find a location in your area, go to the Find a Club page, type in the name of your city and hit Enter. If there are eyeglass collection locations nearby, a tan box will appear before the results with the text “Eyeglass Collection Locations.” Uncheck all other boxes, and only the collection location results will display.
