Description: The used eyeglasses are recycled and sent to developing countries, where people can't afford eyeglasses. Lions clubs have been collecting and recycling eyeglasses for more than 70 years. Sight Night volunteers may come to your door looking for all types of prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses. Whether they are big or small, fashionably "in" or "out," for adults or children, your glasses could change how someone in a developing country sees the world.Volunteers are also collecting used cell phones and hearing aids. If a volunteer doesn't make it to your house on Sight Night, have no fear. Used eyeglasses can be dropped off year-round at such locations as the Goleta Library on Fairview Avenue or downtown library. Call the Lions Sight and Hearing Center at the Cottage Hospital Eye Center for other drop-off locations.
