No, to my knowledge no opticians will give you money off for old glasses. most opticians do take them to recycle for third world though.

OP you arent supposed to wear contacts 99% of the time. Most opticans generally say between 5/6 days a week max. There is no real market for second hand glasses in Ireland.But you could sell them online on adverts, donedeal, ebay etc
