NATIONAL: Multinational eyewear group Luxottica is set to put commercial interests aside to help drive a global charity initiative.
The retail group, whose brands include OPSM, Laubman & Pank, Budget Eyewear, Bright Eyes Sunglasses and Sunglass Hut stores, has announced it will collect unwanted prescription glasses and cash donations to help people around the world requiring "optical assistance".
The move coincides with OneSight Week (February 16 to 22), run by OneSight Foundation, which aims to collect 100,000 pairs of glasses to be used on international missions.
