Thinking of donating used glasses?

Our glasses recycling scheme is permanently closed. We are no longer accepting unwanted glasses/lenses or equipment. Here’s why…

Our scheme closed in 2020 on the guidance of WHO and the Clearer Sight Reports which identified the very real need to provide sustainable eyecare solutions, enabling the countries we work in to build and develop their infrastructures and support their communities to be empowered and self-sufficient; and not just the re-allocation of unwanted glasses from the UK, which while it was incredible, didn’t provide the communities with lasting change.

Vision Action is still working to enable people living in poverty to access affordable spectacles and eye care, but we are no longer able to fund this work through our recycling scheme. We still rely on our amazing supporters, and that includes you.

Your help can help the world to see.
