I am a Blind Low Vision Teacher. I have a student,who at the end of grade 4, he had cancer & had weekly chemotherapy treatments, radiation, and weekly spinal taps. He is doing much better and builds strength each day but at Riley Children's hospital. Wilh all of his treatments and after his last ophthalmologist appointment a prescription that was written was because the student is now in High school and the Rx is too strong. (we see this after invasive treatment, many times.). This family is wanting to get these glasses, but he has very little funding to get them. I was hoping you could guide me to a way this organization might be able to purchase or pay for a part of these glasses.
Eyeglasses should be replaced typically every two years. Eyeglasses can break or if expiration is past then a new examination should be taken to get a new pair.
The website ClearlyContacts offers cheap contacts and eyeglasses. Often there are promotions that provide the first pair of eyeglasses for free. Walmart also sells cheap eyeglasses.
I take my to my optometrist who recycles them for patients who cannot afford the cost of prescription eye glasses. The Lions Club also has a similar program. Please see Related Links for more information on the Lions Club program and drop locations. ---------------------- You can also donate your eyeglasses to MADRE, an international women's rights organization. MADRE's Helping Hands Campaign is currently collecting eyeglasses, eyeglass cases and contact lenses to give to indigenous women and children living in rural, underserved areas of Kenya, Sudan and Nicaragua. Please help these women and their families gain access to eyewear that is necessary to maintaining good health. You may mail your donation to or drop it off at: MADRE Attn: Helping Hands Campaign 121 West 27th Street Suite 301 New York, NY 10001 We also pick up donations in Manhattan.

You can donate your old eyeglasses by contacting organizations such as Lions Club International, OneSight, or New Eyes for the Needy. They often have drop-off locations or mailing addresses where you can send your old glasses. These organizations then distribute the glasses to individuals in need around the world.
