Have good eye contacts - what to do with them after LASIK?

[staboner 4,987]

Hi Friends, just had Lasik and its great. Now I have like 5 unopened contacts that I don't need. How to get rid of them? Is there a charity or some other org that helps with eyewear? 

Also have glasses too. I was considering replacing the lens in them (still need readers) or also considering donating them?

thoughts?

thanks

watch out dude, you might get caught in a sting to bust underground contact lens dealers.

heard about the problem on nextdoor, so it has to be true.

Send them to Garrett Gilbert.

Wear them anyway, get X-Ray Vision.

I know my parents used to donate their old glasses to some outfit but I think it was thru the church and I don't know the name of the group that was actually collecting them. Good luck to ya, that's a good cause.

Lions Club has an eyeglass recycling program.  Not sure about contacts though.

Just give them to your eye doctor.  They can use them for samples for other patients.
