I was informed of a website, ReSpectacle, that offers free eye glasses to those in need. I spent some time browsing their site and it looks as if anyone is able to order glasses free of charge, even shipping is free if you are unable to pay. Because no eye exam is done you would need to know your prescription and since the glasses are sent to you through the mail, there is no one to custom fit the glasses to your face. This is designed for individuals that have no other way to receive eye wear. Although this organization is based in the US, there is a link for those who live outside the county.
If you or someone you know is unable to pay for corrective eye wear, please pass this information along………thank you so very much!
Wow, what a wonderful program! I wonder if they also accept donations of glasses. There’s a group called the Lion’s Club that has boxes in a lot of optometrists’ office so people can donate their old glasses, which will then be given to someone who needs them. I love programs like this!

Brilliant idea. Eyesight is precious.
Without my specs I’d go home with the wrong man, cuddle the wrong dogs and have a car-crash before I got there.
