They’re not hip or modern,

fancy or fashionable.

They no longer fit your prescription.

Or your style.

But for one person living in a developing country, these used eyeglasses will put the world in focus. Maybe for the very first time.  Don’t throw away someone’s chance for a clearer tomorrow.  Donate your used prescription, eyeglasses, you get a tax deduction.  Someone in the world gets to see again. You can help more people by including a few dollars with your contribution. We also need non-prescription sunglasses, including clipons.  There is a international network of donation locations and Lion's Clubs.  They are ready to take you donations and help people in need in your community. For more information or to send in your glasses, contact

Lions In Sight Collection Warehouse
1404 Lemon Street
Vallejo, CA 94590

Or check with your local eye care professional.

Lions Recycle for Sight - Clubs can promote eyeglass recycling efforts and inform community members how they too can participate in the program.  Use this Sample Release to announce a collection drive in your community.  Use the Collection Form when sending glasses to the warehouse.
