Eyeglass Recycling

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 Red Oak Lions Club collects used eyeglasses for donation to Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers. The used eyeglasses are cleaned, repaired and classified by prescription and then distributed to those in need by Lion volunteers and other organizations hosting optical missions in developing countries.

If you have used prescription or nonprescription glasses or sunglasses in your drawers, desks, or closets, you can donate them now! Children's glasses are especially needed.Contact us for information on how to donate.
