Old pair of glasses: what to do with it ?
When properly cared for, a pair of glasses can be kept and used for a very long time.
However, for some reason, you may have to change your eyewear.
In this case, here is what you can do with your old glasses that are no longer in use.
Why change your glasses ?
Most of the time, a person changes glasses when their visual correction needs to be modified.
Indeed, eyesight changes over time and the optical correction must be adapted accordingly.
The change of lenses is often the occasion to change one's pair of eyeglasses.
A badly damaged or lost pair may also need to be replaced.
Finally, changing glasses may be motivated simply by the desire to change the model.
Indeed, glasses are also an aesthetic accessory and a person can therefore get tired of their pair or want to change their look.
Giving my old glasses a second life
Most people keep their old glasses as a spare pair in case they break or lose their new one.
But old glasses can be more useful than collecting dust in a drawer.
As a matter of fact, the new lenses can, for example, be mounted on the old frame.
However, this ecological and economical initiative can only be carried out if the frame is in good condition.
Another option is to have your old glasses recycled.
This eco-responsible gesture allows you to give your old glasses a new life and avoid throwing them away.
Finally, it is also possible to make a good gesture by donating your glasses to a charity.
In fact, several associations collect and recondition old pairs of glasses that are to be thrown away to give them to the most needy.
