Recycle For Sight

Saturday, March 1, 2003

(NAPSA)—More than twentyfive percent of the world’s population would benefit from corrective lenses, according to the World Health Organization. But because an eye exam in a developing country can cost as much as one month’s wages, many of these people cannot afford glasses. ee => > Lions RECYCLE For Sight, Your used glasses can be a sight for sore eyes. To help, Lions Clubs International designated May as Lions  Month and collects used eyeglasses all month. In addition, many Lionsclubscollect glasses throughout the entire year. These donations are cleaned and categorized by prescription. Lions clubs and other groups conduct missions to developing countries, providing eye exams and eyeglasses to children and adults with impaired vision. Legal restraints in the United States generally prohibit dispensing used prescription devices. All types of eyeglasses (including very weak and very strong prescriptions) are needed. So are sunglasses (prescription and non- prescription), reading glasses and children’s eyeglasses. To donate eyeglasses, drop them off at your local Lions club, at any LensCrafters store, or call 1-800-74-SIGHT. You can learn more at www.lionsclubs.org.
