For 563 million people across the globe, the world is only a blur. All glasses, including prescription and nonprescription sunglasses, are accepted, except progressives and trifocals.

The Student Governing Board at The Outback will have donation boxes set up in the New Canaan Library, New Canaan High School and The Outback.

All glasses will be donated through LensCrafters to OneSight, an organization that works around the globe providing vision care to those without access to it.
