Charity which takes 'old' spectacles?

Does anyone know of any organisations that take glasses which are no longer needed by the user and takes them to people in need abroad? I have a few pairs myself, but even my opticians doesn't know of anyone who does it anymore.

Any ideas?

Thanks

    My local Specsavers collects them for onward donation to charity.

    My opticians is a small independent place, but we do have a Specsavers close so I will ask them if they collect them. Thanks.

    Thanks. Great initiative. Hopefully it can be rolled out nationally. Might contact my local eye hospital and see if they have something similar.

    I was also going to say Specsavers - my local one has a drop box in store.
