important question about #eyeglasses , please boost!   

i received my new eyeglasses a few days ago, after going through my annual eye exam and getting a new prescription

where can i #donate my old pair? btw, i live in #texas

@3am
I don't know about Texas, but in Hawaii we used to have boxes at public libraries for donating glasses. I haven't seen them for awhile, I think they disappeared during COVID.

Maybe check with local organizations and agencies that help people, they might know

@dancingtreefrog @3am

The Lions Club puts those boxes in at the libraries. The Walmart vision center will often have boxes to donate your eye glasses as well.

@3am is it ok to donate your eyeglasses? thought everyone’s eyesight prescription was different.

@denpanek0

ive heard that some prescriptions match up (which makes sense, considering how many people exist in the world, im sure some match up) but mostly i just dont want a pair of perfectly good eyeglasses go to waste

@3am Maybe check with your eye doctor? Mine has a donation box by the coat rack in their office. I can't recall which specific charity it goes to.
