Projects

Any Lion will be happy to accept your old eyeglasses for recycling. Just bring your old eyeglasses with you to any Lions event.

Each year, the Texas Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center supplies 60-80 missions sponsored by church groups, physicians and other organizations with eyeglasses. In addition to providing eyeglasses for under privileged children and adults in Texas, the center also supplies eyeglasses to distribution centers in the Republic of Ghana, Nigeria and Brazil.

The center organizes optical training teams composed of Lions, doctors and opticians to work with Lions in developing countries.
