We participate in annual vision screenings with
​the South Bay Lions Club

Eighty percent of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured. The first step to prevention is awareness. The second is early detection through vision screening. Around the world, Lions partner with medical professionals and community leaders to screen young children, primary school students, and adults to identify those at risk for vision loss. Early identification leads to timely referral, professional treatment, and improved or restored sight.

We are a drop off location for Lions in Sight

The mission of Lions In Sight is to promote the collection of used eyeglasses for the purpose of recycling and use in developing nations worldwide and to provide no cost primary eye care to the needy and low-income citizens in economically disadvantaged countries. This care is provided either through clinic missions or through established LIS permanent clinics. No-cost, comprehensive eye examinations are performed by a licensed ophthalmologist or optometrist. A coalition of Lions Clubs in the United States and abroad, collect, neutralize/measure and dispense the used eyeglasses at no cost to visually challenged needy people. We are dedicated to bringing basic eye care and eyeglasses to a world of people in need.

We are volunteers for California Vision Foundation

​We assist our local community by providing free eye exams to low-income individuals. To qualify, all patients must go through an application process in which the California Vision Foundation determines if they qualify. Each patient receives a free eye exam and glasses.

We accept donations for World Sight Day
#MakeVisionCount

World Sight Day is the most important advocacy and communications event on the eye health calendar. It is a great time to engage with the world at large – a patient’s family, those who seldom get an eye exam, diabetics. This year, let us ensure that we pay attention to eye care issues that impact lives everywhere, both developed and developing economies. What's the first thing you can do? Plan for an eye examination. Look around in your family, especially for those who are vulnerable: young, school-going children, the elderly, those with diabetes.

Bausch + Lomb ONE by ONE Recycling Program

We are now a participating location for ONE by ONE. It is a free recycling program for Biotrue ONEday contact lenses and blister packs, as well as lenses and packs from other Bausch & Lomb brands. Once received, the contact lenses and blister packs are separated by composition and cleaned. The metal layers of the blister packs are recycled separately, while the contact lenses and plastic blister pack components are melted into plastic that can be remolded to make recycled products.
