The opticians Optika has raised more than £650 for a new incubator, known as The Giraffe, which is needed at St Helier Hospital.
The store owner decided to raise money for the £45,000 machine, which will help save babies' lives, by holding an auction, raffles and their own donations.
More than £250 was raised by auctioning three pairs of designer sunglasses. Each time someone pays to have their eyes tested, Optika is giving £1 to the cause.
Uday Morjaria, owner of the St Nicholas Centre store, said: "We think this is a very worthy cause and will keep going for as long as we can."
