EYE GLASS DONATIONS

The World Health Organization estimates that the eyesight of one-fourth of the world's population can be improved through the use of corrective lenses.
Unfortunately for many, a pair of glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible.  In developing countries, an eye exam costs as much as one month's wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of thousands of people.

For nearly 70 years, individual Lions clubs and districts in the U.S., Canada and several other countries have collected used eyeglasses for distribution to the needy in developing nations.

 

The general public is encouraged to donate their used eyeglasses to their local Lions club, or see list below for a Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center near you.

For any other information regarding recycling used eyeglasses, contact Lion Mike Rogalski at 707 575-5090.
