Lions in Sight

Eye Clinics for People in Need

Every two years, a team of Lions from Union City participate in Lions in Sight clinics in Mexico. Six Lions travel to the clinic city and work with the local Lions to provide eye exams and glasses for people who cannot afford them.

Lion LindaLions In Sight of California and Nevada (LIS) is a nonprofit 501(C)(3) California corporation.  LIS is an endorsed project of Lions Clubs International’s Multiple District 4 and has been appointed by Lions Clubs International as the Lions Clubs International Recycling Center for the Western United States.

Founded in 1987 by Dr. Wayne Cannon and incorporated in 1992, the mission of Lions In Sight is to promote the collection of used eyeglasses for the purpose of recycling and use in developing nations worldwide and provide no cost primary eye care to the needy and low-income citizens in economically disadvantaged countries via either clinic missions or established LIS permanent clinics.  No cost, comprehensive eye examinations are performed by a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist.  A coalition of Lions Clubs in the United States and abroad, collect, neutralize/measure and dispense the used eyeglasses at no cost to visually challenged needy people.
