Gift of Sight Day: Free Vision Screening

January 12, 2019; 8am - 2pm

For many years, California Lions Clubs and Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation have sponsored dozens of “Gift of Sight” events throughout Southern California.

At these one day events, free vision screenings are provided by volunteer Ophthalmologists and Optometrists to all comers, regardless of need or income.  In addition, each person is provided with a free pair of refurbished eyeglasses on the spot, based on the results of the eye exam.  At the Encinitas event a free Hearing Screening is also available.  All equipment and supplies have been provided by generous donors.

Encinitas Lions is privileged to be able to host a Gift of Sight day scheduled for Saturday, January 12, 2019, from 8 AM to 2 PM, at the San Dieguito United Methodist Church, 170 Calle Magdalena, Encinitas, CA 92024.  Typically, several hundred people are seen at each of these events, and the majority leaves with glasses at no cost.  Since Medi-Cal does not provide glasses, the need is greater than ever.

As you can imagine, it takes nearly 100 volunteers on site for each event, and it’s a long, busy day!

It is held in partnership with Urban Surf 4Kids. Volunteers from the club as well as many sponsors from the community come together to put on a day of surfing for the blind and the sight-impaired. Surfers are provided wet suits, surfboards and instruction, in the water by Certified Surfing Instructors as they challenge themselves to balance atop surfboards.

Breakfast and a BBQ lunch for all our guests will be included, whether you surf or come to enjoy a day at the beach. Of course there will be no charge and no age limit.

The event takes place each year at South Ponto State Beach - just north of La Costa Blvd and Highway 101. Special thanks to all of the volunteers that make event a special day.
