If you're one of the 77 percent of Americans who will be rolling up their sleeves to spring clean this year, according to the Soap and Detergent Association's 2008 Spring Cleaning Survey, don't toss out your old glasses in a fit of uncluttering exuberance. Instead, consider donating them to Give the Gift of Sight, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing free eye exams and used glasses to people in need around the world. To date, the Mason, Ohio-based organization has assisted more than 6 million people in the United States and abroad.

To donate your unwanted spectacles, deposit them in Give the Gift of Sight drop-off boxes located at Pearle Vision and LensCrafters stores nationwide. ::Give the Gift of Sight
