Jonzjob Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Anyone any idea as to where we can send some of our old glasses to in France please?We know that they can be returned to various places in the U.K., but is there a similar arrangement here?

mint Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 Jonz, I have seen boxes in Leclerc and in opticians' shops for old glasses.In fact, had to take OH to see the ophthalmologue last Monday and I saw a notice in the waiting-room about donating your old glasses. I think the advert was one for Optique 2000 or something like that; anyway, the name of a nationwide chain of opticians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederick Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 If you have a local Lions Club or know any member in your area give them to him.http://www.lionsclubs.org/EN/member-center/planning-projects/sight-hearing/sight/eyeglass-recycling/recycling-centers/vision-eyeglass-france.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judith Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 JohnYes, my Rotary club is collecting them ... and I'd happily take them off you. And we can take cases as well, lenses alone, frames alone etc...Or you can go direct to the place in the place in Perpignan we send them to .. (run by a Rotarian). PM for details if needed.But you may also find opticians have collecting boxes... the ones in our town do....Sorry, just seen the previous posts ... but I'd much prefer you to give them to Rotary than the Lions ... ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The most important thing is that the glasses get a second life and get to help somebody who needs them.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
