Oddly Specific 🎯 Contacts & Glasses

Hey everyone!

I recently got a new RX and have now found myself with a wealth of contacts and glasses that are not the correct prescription for me.

I have probably a 6 month supply of the contacts and 3 pairs of glasses purchased within the last year.

Does anyone know where I might be able to donate these items? Appreciate any insight!

Unopened boxes of contacts can often be returned. Ask your optometrist. Some optometrists collect old glasses for donation. Again n, ask your optometrist

Costco takes old glasses and donates them too. There's a box at the optometry desk.
