Anyone know of a comparable place here in the USA??   This one is in UK, and I do not know if they would work with USA people,  but it's  very nicely set up for free spectacles if you are in need and haven't insurance or cash.

 Free Prescription Glasses from ReSpectacle (United Kingdom)
June 14, 2019 | Category: Freebies   
ReSpectacle offers up to 3 pairs of pre-owned prescription glasses a year. All you need to do is visit their site and click on browse and provide them with your prescription. Please keep in mind that the free glasses are very limited and they will only giveaway a certain number of them per day. Keep in mind that this offer will take about 8 weeks to arrive. Also, this offer will only last as long as the company has supplies, so get yours while you can.

I went to this site, could not find "Browse" to click on, but contact information is available, maybe someone would like to interact with them and start a pre-owned eyeless service here in the USA ???

I’m not sure if you have a Lions club in your area but we have one here in Kentucky and they offer free prescription glasses help it may be worth googling

Wow that is awesome my glasses always cost so much on my limited income but I would like to also donate glasses to that - I hope I won't even need glasses after cataract surgery.

After paying thousands for prescriptions over the years, when the insurance ran out, I started using the OTC readers too!  But this Free Eyeglass offer got my attention (in UK) and I wondered if the USA had one.

I just answered you.  Google free eye glasses and your zip code.  YES the USA has programs where you can get free eye glasses but you have to qualify.
