Do you have any ?

Old prescription glasses that is ? Just been through our drawers and found about ten pairs, going to take them to our optician who donates them to people in need.

If you have any see if your optician belongs to the scheme, saves wasting them.

I have two pairs of old specs that are for decorating and covered in paint splashes.

Fair enough at least they've got a purpose. Ours were just taking up space wasted really.

Same here Tabs. I've donated my old specs for several years now.

The trouble is, they are so old that when I wear them I can't see much.
