This Halloween - or Sight Night - Antelope Valley Mall will be asking for more than just candy.

It will also be scaring up used eyewear, which will be recycled by Give the Gift of Sight and Lions Clubs International and handdelivered to underprivileged people around the world.

During its nine years, more than 100,000 community volunteers have participated in Sight Night, collecting more than 1,000,000 pairs of used eyewear.

"Sight Night gives children and adults a tangible way to participate in a global act of kindness on Halloween," said Andy Anderegg, Gift of Sight captain. "Our efforts will change lives. Some people who receive this eyewear may now be able to work or see the board in school because of their improved eyesight."

At Antelope Valley Mall, donations of prescription glasses or non-prescription sunglasses can be made at Sunglass Icon.

According to the World Health Organization, 250 million of the people in the world need corrective eyewear. But many people, especially those in developing countries, do not have access to eye care or eyewear.

Each year, Give the Gift of Sight sponsors optical missions to developing countries such as Mexico, Bolivia, Laos, and Thailand to address the worldwide need for eye care.

"Look for your used prescription eyeglasses and non-prescription sunglasses around your home or office," said Anderegg. "Whether they're big or small, chic or not, your eyewear could help someone in a developing country see the world more clearly!"

If the "ghouls and boys" don't make it to your house on Sight Night, have no fear. Used eyewear is accepted anytime at LensCrafters, Pearle Vision, Sears Optical, Target Optical, local Lions clubs or participating eye doctors in your community.
