Describe your Halloween celebration idea:
Sight Night is part of a nationwide collection effort by Give the Gift of Sight, a series of charitable vision care programs sponsored by LensCrafters and Lions Clubs International and other charities.

This Halloween, thousands of volunteers across North America will celebrate the third annual Sight Night collecting used eyeglasses and sunglasses to recycle for the needy in impoverished countries. This year, community groups including scout troops and school districts are invited to join Sight Night, collecting glasses door-to-door during trick-or-treat.

All colors, shapes, and sizes of glasses and sunglasses are needed - prescription and non-prescription. No matter how old or out of fashion you think your old specs are, they will make a world of difference to someone in a developing country! Give the Gift of Sight collects, cleans, repairs and hand-delivers these used glasses to children and adults in developing countries who desperately need them.

If the ghouls and boys don't find their way to your door on Sight Night, you can drop off your used glasses at collection boxes located in all LensCrafters stores or Lions club locations.
