    Post Thanksgiving PSA

    Welcome back Nerds! We're both hoping you all had a fantastic Thanksgiving with your family and loved ones this week! Sorry this episode is late, but the holidays are nuts and so are we! This week we wanted to serve you guys something light and informative and we decided to recap some of the Do's and Don'ts of handling our eyewear. We've gained some followers since we originally aired our episodes about lenses and frames and wanted to revisit those points and add some more to it as well. It might not be as much fun to listen to but hopefully you'll all find some knowledge to gain here! So reheat some leftovers and hit play! https://sightisaright.org/donate/ https://sightisaright.org/about-us/ https://www.erraticglass.com/blog https://greatshapeinc.org/donate/
