Lions have gained worldwide recognition for our work to improve sight:
- We recycle glasses worldwide. Recycled eyeglasses are provided to the people of third world countries giving thousands the sight they needed to read, study, manage daily tasks and earn a living.
- We support Lions Eye Banks, which annually provide quality eye tissue for 30,000 sight-saving surgeries, medical education and eye research.
- We screen the vision of hundreds of thousands of people every year.
- We provide cataract surgeries and other eye care services to those at risk of losing their sight.
- Individuals who live in Citrus County and need vision assistance should call the Vision Line at 352-560-8741 to see if you qualify (Homosassa residents call 352-212-3013). Leave your contact information and they will call you.
