Bring them into any optician - most will collect them and send to eyecare charities in developing countries

I'm also waiting for new glasses, bought in specsavers. If you have driving glasses, like me, you can get new prescription glass in an old frame and get it tinted. Hey presto, prescription sunglasses. I think it would cost about E 60 in total. Not sure.
