Donate your old glasses and sunglasses

If you’re a glasses-wearer, there’s a good chance you have an old pair of frames tucked away somewhere. Bring them to a Warby Parker store, and we’ll have them recycled or refitted for someone in need.

Here’s how it works

    Drop off glasses or sunglasses in good, wearable condition—from any brand!—at any Warby Parker store.

We believe in vision for all

Collecting eyewear donations is just one of the ways we help people see. For every pair of Warby Parker frames purchased, a pair of glasses is distributed to someone in need through our Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. To date, that’s 20 million pairs and counting. And, as we work toward expanding access to vision care, we’re continuing to find ways to reduce our environmental impact.
