New Eyes for the Needy
Optical Shop of Westport conducts eyeglass drives on an on-going basis. We donate the eyeglasses we collect to New Eyes for the Needy, a not-for-profit organization that distributes eyeglasses free of charge to hospitals, clinics and medical missions throughout the world. New Eyes for the Needy analyzes the prescriptions, labels them and then sends them all over the world through medical missions to fill optical prescriptions. In over 60 years New Eyes for the Needy has distributed over 4 million pairs of eyeglasses.
If you have eyeglasses that are just gathering dust, just drop them off at Optical Shop of Westport and we will send them for you.
“It is an easy and worthwhile effort”, says Margharet Hollander. “I’ve gone on optical missions and have been lucky enough to witness the smiles on peoples’ faces when they see for the first time through their new donated eyeglasses.”
