How can I apply to obtain assistance for eyeglasses and eye exams?

Through Lions Clubs International, the Sun City Center/South Shore Lions Club sponsors programs that provide eyeglasses and eye exams to eligible individuals with demonstrable financial need, helping ensure better vision and eye health.  You can apply for assistance with obtaining eyeglasses and/or an eye exam by downloading and completing the application. Eligibility is based on a combination of financial need and available funds.

To apply for assistance, download an application, Edit the downloaded WORD document with your information. Attach the completed application with any supporting information in an email to visionassistance@scclions.org.

The club’s Sight & Hearing Chair or volunteer will review your application and notify you of your status. Processing typically takes up to two weeks.

If approved, you may receive single vision, lined bifocal, or lined trifocal lenses. Some programs may also provide frames, a hard case, and a cleaning cloth. Services are usually coordinated with a local optometrist or through affiliated optical shops.
