    Donating glasses & contact lenses

    Hi there
    I recently had LASIK and would like to donate my glasses & unused contact lenses to a charity in Hong Kong. Does anyone know who would take them?
    Many Thanks

    I have not heard of charities like this before. But having one would be pretty cool.

    i wonder if anyone has any updates on this? i emailed orbis (i remember seeing some donation boxes with their logo a few years ago) but they are not accepting used glasses.

    to answer my own question, salvation army accepts prescription (sun)glasses.
