RECYCLE.

2. Why Recycle Glasses?
The poor eyesight of more than 157 million
people* without access to eye care could easily
be corrected with used – yet usable – eyeglasses.
The lack of eyeglasses denies children and adults
the opportunities for education, employment and a
better quality of life.

What Can You Do?
Anyone can contribute to the Eyeglass
Project. Just drop your used eyeglasses in
a Lions collection box or give them to a
Lions member. They can also be sent
directly to the Eyeglass Recycling Center.
Eyeglass collection containers can be
obtained from the WLF Office, free of
charge by calling 1.877.463.6953.
The Eyeglass Recycling Center was made
possible by a matching grant received from
the Lions Club International Foundation.
The Adventures of Recycled Eyeglasses
●Lions collect used eyeglasses at various
community locations, such as local libraries,
banks, schools or optometrists' offices.
●The glasses are shipped to the Wisconsin
Lions Foundation Eyeglass Recycling Center
(one of only 18 Lions Clubs International
Certified Recycling Centers in the world).
They are then sorted, washed, read
(prescription strengths determined) and
packaged. Over 800,000 pairs of glasses are
processed annually at the Center.
●The eyeglasses are stored at the Center until
they are requested for eyeglass-dispensing
missions to developing countries.
●At the mission site, trained Lion volunteers
and eye care professionals perform vision
screenings and dispense the appropriate
recycled glasses, free of charge, to needy
children and adults.
