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.
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.
We accept the following items for donation:
-Unused, NON-EXPIRED contact lenses (expired lenses will be discarded).
-Sealed solutions (any opened solutions will be discarded).
-Contact lens cases
We are no longer accepting glasses. Please click on the 'Glasses Donation' button for information on donating your glasses
My name is Ella Wilen. I am so proud to be a part of DonateContacts.
My name is Jaiden Cable and I am honored to be a part of such a helpful and philanthropic organization that allows the less fortunate the ability to see clearer. DonateContacts makes it possible for kids like me not to have to struggle to see correctly and one less stress for their parents to worry about.
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.
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.
Please send all unused, NON-EXPIRED contact lenses, contact lens cases and contact lens solution donations to the address below and feel free to Email us if you have any questions or comments. Thank you
