Lions in Sight Eye Clinics

In partnership with Lions in Sight of California and Nevada and with grants from the Lions Clubs International Foundation, the San Francisco Fil-Am Lions Club, in cooperation with other clubs in District 4-C4 and Multiple District 301 (Philippines), founded the first Lions Eye Clinic in the Philippines. This and others clinics founded later serve as distribution points for recycled eyeglasses shipped from the United States, providing a much needed service to very underprivileged communities. They also serve as collection points for donated eyeglasses from local Lions Clubs, continuing the cycle and gaining self sufficiency in our service to those with visual deficiencies.
