Sustainable practices don’t have to negatively impact product quality or patient care – in fact, they do the opposite. Optical fast fashion is a by-product of two-for-one deals and cheaper disposable manufacturing. At Beckenham Optometrist, we provide our community with the best eyewear for both our patients and the environment.
We recycle, reuse and refill our packaging, cleaning sprays and old spectacle cases. We donate patients’ old specs to Lions Club, and facilitate the recycling of disposable contact lenses and blister packs through Opticycle.
We partner with Aussie frame brands who hold genuine sustainable credentials:
An estimated 250 million people around the world are unable to see properly because they do not have a pair of glasses. This can make even the simplest of jobs difficult to do and getting a job, impossible.
You can help turn this around. Bring in your old prescription or non-prescription glasses or sunglasses and your unused spectacles can be put to good use in developing countries.
