The Minnesota Lions Vision Foundation is dedicated to preserving and restoring sight by raising awareness and providing funding for vision-related services, education, and research. The Foundation supports the Lions Children’s Eye Clinic, Lions Macular Degeneration Center, Lions Eye Surgery Center, Lions Gift of Sight, and the Minnesota Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center. Through these programs, the Foundation helps improve the lives of countless individuals by advancing vision research, providing exceptional eye care, and recycling used eyeglasses that are distributed to people in need throughout the United States and around the world. Together, these efforts ensure that more people have access to the gift of better vision.
