I have disposable contact lenses that I can't use any more, since I can't wear them. They are Bausch & Lomb Purevision, and I have already cashed in the rebate, so they are loose from the original boxes. I have 8 -5.50 with a base curve of 8.6, and I have 10 -5.75 with a base curve of 8.3. I'd like $4 a piece for them. If you'd like them, PM me.

If I'm not allowed to sell them, does anyone know where I could donate them? I've seen eyeglass collections before, but never contact lenses. I can't stomach the thought of throwing them away, and they're just taking up space in my linen closet.

I had a bunch of contacts I tried to donate, but no place would take them. I never understood why, they were sealed in there little packages, and I'm sure I'm not the only person in the world with that size eye ball and RX... Even doctors offices takes donations of unused meds... :hu

Try a Lion's club, they specialize in eye item donations. Also check with a local health department, I doubt that they will take them but may be to direct you to someone who needs them.

Post 'em on your local craigslist and freecycle.
