We are the ReSpectacle chapter at the University of Iowa.
We redistribute gently used glasses to underserved communities across the globe. Our glasses are donated by members of our community. They are then cleaned, categorized, and loaded into our online database based on their prescription.
ReSpectacle is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization.
