About Us
Photos to the left are from a recent clinic mission to Zacatecas, Mexico where 740 people of all ages who were unable to access medical care were seen by doctors from California and Zacatecas who generously donated their time, expertise and equipment. Lions volunteering from California and Zacatecas teamed up with local college students who volunteered their time for 2 days as translators. A special thanks to the Lions Club of Zacatecas for hosting this clinic and the Howard Johnson Hotel for donating accommodations for volunteers and the clinic.
Want to make a difference in someone else’s life? Interested in giving back to the community? Ever wanted to go on an adventure of a life time? Need a life changing experience? Fulfill all of these by volunteering for Lions in Sight.
Approximately 161 million people in this world are visually disabled or blind and approximately 2 billion people need eyeglasses. Unfortunately, in developing countries, most of the people cannot afford proper eye care. This limits their vision, their ability to work and their quality of life. Your old eyeglasses can literally change a life.
Lions In Sight of California and Nevada is an official service activity of Lions Clubs International. We are devoted to restoring the vision of needy patients in developing nations.
The Lions In Sight program begins with local Lions interacting with the citizens of their community. The Lions Clubs collect eyeglasses from the public and send them to our collection center in Vallejo, California. The collected eyeglasses are sorted, cleaned, processed and packaged for delivery to developing nations around the world.
Volunteer Doctors and Lions travel to developing nations bringing glasses and performing free eye examinations. To accomplish this undertaking we need your help. We depend on you for contributions of eyeglasses as well as financial contributions.
