That's great! I have a zillion pairs of sunglasses lying around in various stages of disrepair.

If you check with your optometrist, most of them work with either Unite for Sight or the Lions Eyeglass Bank. They will usually take your old glasses when your new ones are ready, so you don't even have to go out of your way.

I always donate my old glasses in this fashion; it is completely painless effort-wise, and someone else gets the help they need.
