Got old eyeglasses? Make a charitable donation and get $25
Trade in an old pair of out-of-date eyeglasses for $25 towards a new pair at Hollywood Eyes.
It's the store's version of "Cash for Clunkers" and the campaign begins Thursday and ends Oct. 31.
The old eyewear is donated to a local Lions Club, which recycles the used glasses for people in need in Central America.
Hollywood Eyes is located at 2011 Harrison Street in Hollywood. For more information call 954-923-5367.
The For Eyes chain has a similar program, according to its website. Bring in a worn prescription eyeglass pair and receive $25 off a new set of eyeglasses. The trade-ins are also donated to charity.
This is good for a purchase of $129 or more and is not to be combined with other discounts, coupons, vision insurance plans or prior orders. The For Eyes offer expires Sept. 30.
These are good deals. I've been growing tired of my tortoise-shell rhinestone speckled glasses (pictured on the left). They were a hefty investment and it doesn't make sense to ditch them after two years. I'm still debating.
Do any of you wear eyeglasses as a fashion statement or are they just a necessary evil?
