WHAT HAPPENS TO THE DONATED EYE GLASSES?
The donated eye glasses collected by Lions from throughout the state are delivered to the Delaware Lions Sight Team (DLST). The Sight Team takes some of the eye glasses to the Sussex Correctional Institution in Georgetown where prisoners clean, read and label the prescriptions of the glasses. Currently, all donated glasses are transported by the DLST to an International Lions Eye Glass Recycling Center in New Jersey for distribution to optical missions around the world. At times DLST members have traveled with mission groups to Mexico and several Central American counties to distribute eye glasses.
