Used Eyeglasses

Douglas County Lions participates in the Lions International "Recycle For Sight" program by collecting used eyeglasses.  

After used glasses have been collected, they are separated by type (broken (unusable), non-prescription sunglasses, readers, specialty including prescription sunglasses, and all usable prescription glasses. All usable prescription glasses are cleaned, scanned to determine the optics of each pair and sorted by prescription. They are then boxed for distribution to various organizations who distribute them in the U.S. and around the world to people that do not have access to glasses.
