Local Gladstone optometrist collects second-hand glasses for a cause.  

Specsavers Gladstone is on a mission; to take on a major global health crisis and they are asking locals for their help. The store is launching a glasses recycling program in partnership with Lions Recycle for Sight, which will see quality glasses and sunglasses being delivered to people in need overseas.  Gladstone locals can clear out for clear vision and bring their pre-loved glasses and sunglasses into Specsavers Gladstone, placing them in the glasses recycling collection bin or handing them to a team member. Specsavers Gladstone, co-owner Adam Soper said, “When I found out just how many people are going blind in impoverished communities around the world simply because they don’t have access to glasses, I was shocked, and I knew we had to do something about this problem. Blindness and vision impairments are so much worse in third world countries because they can mean the difference between people being able to have a job and feed their family, or not.”
