February 25, 20224 yr Popular Post Years ago in the UK there used to be a place where you could send your old glasses (prescription change) for recycling to poorer nations - anything like that exist here in Thailand - I have a few pairs accumulated over the years.
February 25, 20224 yr Frames shld not be very old as plastc frames get brittle. Lenses are of little or no use.

February 28, 20224 yr I pay 50b for my glasses and they are making a profit on that. admitted they are only plastic but, recycling old glasses to poorer nations seems a waste of time and money when they could possibly could just send new ones, i'm guessing buying in bulk are only about 25b a pair. Some foundations/charities just waste money on staff, admin etc.
