Last month, in the spirit of festive giving, Polaroid Eyewear donated over 1,000 pairs of reading glasses to Vision Care for Homeless People, just as the charity was gearing up to provide eye care at their Crisis Centres during the busy Christmas period.The reading glasses have powers from +1.0 to +3.50d, which means many people in Vision Care’s centres benefited from clearer vision.
“This is a wonderful cause and one that affords practical help to people in real need,” said Rebecca Harwood Lincoln, Polaroid Eyewear Sales Manager UK and Ireland. “We are so pleased we were able to help in this simple way but one that makes such a massive difference for the people concerned.”

“Corporate social responsibility is very important to Polaroid and that’s why our charity policy focuses on helping organisations with causes close to our own – improving the vision and eye health of people and their families around the world.”
