Eyeglass Recycling

Recycling eyeglasses is one of the most visible and well-known Lions Club projects.  Lions have been collecting eyeglasses for over 80 years, and Recycle for Sight has been an official program of Lions Clubs International since 1994.   Refractive errors can be easily corrected with eyeglasses, yet millions in developing countries go without this basic eye care.  The eyeglasses that Lions collect enable many people in these nations to see clearly for the first time.

Did you know?  Lions also collect used hearing aids!  Just drop them in the eyeglass collection box or take them to the Lions Sight and Hearing Foundation, 70 N. Latah, Boise, Idaho.
