 In
1925, Helen
Keller challenged Lions to become "knights of the blind in the crusade
against darkness" during the association's international convention. Today,
Lions are recognized worldwide for their service to the blind and visually
impaired. Lions demonstrate their commitment to sight conservation through
eyeglass
recycling, sight
partnerships and countless other sight
services.
The Lions ambitious SightFirst Program has restored sight through cataract surgeries, prevented serious vision loss and improved eye care services for hundreds of millions of adults and children. To continue and expand this effort, Lions have launched Campaign SightFirst II, with a goal of raising at least US$150 million. |
