For those who wear glasses. What do you do with your old glasses when you get new ones with a new prescription?

I keep my old ones as a backup if they aren’t broken.

Even if you no longer wear that prescription?

[MaddyJ]

Yeah. Something is better than nothing in a pinch

I think you can recycle them at your opticians. I’ve never binned mine, mind you I’ve had the same glasses for over 5 years.

I still have the same glasses I bought when I was in my early 20s. I don't wear them anymore as the prescription is no longer the same and throughout the years I've accumulated so many glasses I don't know what to do with them anymore.

I would definitely enquire at the opticians if you can recycle them there especially if you have many glasses. Seems such a waste to just bin them

Donate them and they got sent to third world countries

[AI Opinion]

I usually donate my old glasses to organizations that help people who need eyewear but can't afford it. There are many charities that collect eyeglasses for this purpose. It's a great way to give back and ensure your glasses can help someone else see clearly 😊.

they are binned and replaced when broken
