About DONATECONTACTS
How We're Helping
We are a nonprofit organization focused on ending the enormous waste of contact lenses worldwide and on providing underprivileged kids with access to free, quality contact lenses. We will also accept unused contact lens solution and contact lens cases. As of February 1st 2023, we have processed and donated over 4 million contact lenses, 125,000 bottles of contact lens solution and 30,000 contact lens cases. The collected lenses, solution and cases are sent to Feed The Children in Oklahoma City, OK where they are distributed to those in need through their network of eye care facilities.
Get Involved
Simply donate all of your unused contact lenses that no longer match your prescription, contact lens cases and unused contact solution and we'll do the rest. We are always looking for volunteers to help spread the reach of our mission. Please contact us if you would like to organize your own local DonateContacts contact lens drive. We're excited to have you join the team! Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram.

DonateContacts Founder: Harris Gevinson
I've been wearing contacts since I was 13 years old and my prescription is always changing before I finish the lenses for my old prescription. I am always left with lots of unused contact lenses that no longer match my prescription because of this. After talking to many of my peers and realizing that they too are often in the same situation, I decided to start this charitable organization to end the waste of contact lenses and help underprivileged kids obtain free contact lenses.
DonateContacts Past President: Ella Millen
Ever since I started wearing contacts, day to day tasks have felt easier and more natural than having to wear glasses all the time. I realized how much I benefit from wearing contacts, and I’ve decided to help others with the same issue. There are so many contacts that go to waste because of prescription changes, and so many underprivileged children in need. DonateContacts is a charity dedicated to helping kids in need gain access to free contacts, which can impact their daily lives in a positive way.
