Appeal for old glasses
AN OPTICIAN is urging people to donate their old glasses to help people in the developing world.
Guiseley Specsavers collected 30,000 pairs of glasses for Vision Aid Overseas in 2014 and is again asking for unused frames to be donated to its Otley Road store.
The glasses are recycled and the money raised is used to fund the charity’s work in developing countries, including eye tests and treatment as well as training local optometrists.
