Does anyone know if any places accept donations for frames that can be passed on to the needy?

i have about 3-4 frames that are in good condition, just that prescription is either outdated or I no longer use.

Accidentally sat on my 1 year old glasses on Monday, the 'legs" bent and 1 of the lens even pop out a little. Luckily my regular optician managed to fix it foc. So I bought him and his staff kopi

Good to have a regular and reliable optician

Asked in the progressive lens thread in edmw but I think here more suitable since that thread is probably pushed down quickly.

Can you recommend a progressive lens for $800 budget? Excluding frame. Will you also advice to get a separate pair office glasses for computer and reading purposes? Or see first if the progressive lenses is sufficient and can get used to it?

Hi! Do you mind sharing your prescription(if you have a rough idea) and your age(pm if you need to).
So I can have a rough idea on what lens index/design) to recommend you

Hi, you could consider using hoya nulux EP, it is a double aspheric lens thus the lenses will be thinner and hoya coating is very durable.
The cost is about 740 though. Think of It like an upgrade…

Oh no, that’s unfortunate. But as it’s ultrasonic, if the coating of the lenses are old etc, they will come off very easily..
I would suggest hoya or Zeiss.
