Vision Aid Overseas spectacles collection

Please help Rotary Herne Bay, we are collecting old and used spectacles for Vison Aid Overseas.



Please help Rotary Herne Bay, we are collecting old and used spectacles for Vison Aid Overseas at Herne Bay Library.  

Vision Aid Overseas recycle the donated second-hand glasses for their precious metal content (gold frames) and any retro or vintage glasses are sold on their eBay shop or to specialist buyers. They also recycle plastic glasses. The income generated through the recycling process enables them to deliver sustainable eye care services in their partner countries. They do this by:

•     Establishing Vision Centres so that, there are locally based eye care services to provide affordable eye tests and new glasses to all patients regardless of circumstance.

•     Training local eye care workers so that, there are skilled professionals in partner countries to deliver quality eye care services at all times.

•     Delivering eye care services to remote and isolated communities so that, they can reach the poorest and most vulnerable people.  Please see how else you can help by visiting their website below.
