CAMAS — In a continued effort to improve vision care worldwide, several Lions Clubs from across Clark County participated in an eyeglass sorting event. This initiative is part of a global effort to collect and recycle eyeglasses for individuals in need, particularly in underserved regions of the world where access to affordable eye care is limited.
At the event, volunteers diligently sorted the donated glasses into several categories, including single vision, multi-focal, sunglasses, readers, and glasses destined for recycling. Once organized, the eyeglasses will be sent to the Northwest Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center, where they will be washed, inspected, and their prescriptions determined using lensometers. After this process, the glasses will be prepared for international missions aimed at delivering free eyewear to people in remote and developing countries.
