Back-to-School Screening Program a Success 
Throughout the summer, the Missouri Lions Eye Research Foundation provided free Children's Vision Screenings to preschoolers across Missouri. Our largest event at the Saint Louis Science Center was once again a success thanks to the support of our volunteers and the work of our vision screening staff. In only three days, 668 individuals were screened for the leading causes of blindness. |
Thank You to Our Outstanding Contributors! Each year, the Foundation honors the top five Lions clubs who have gone above and beyond in their giving to the organization. We're pleased to recognize the fellow clubs as Outstanding Contributors:

Cornea Transplant Saves Sight of Kenyan Girl Heartland Lions Eye Banks recently received this touching note from a 7-year-old girl in Kenya who underwent a cornea transplant: "My family and I are very grateful. Before the surgery I had no life. I was house-bound, couldn't socialize, go out, or enjoy doing my hobbies or even do my housework. I felt useless and couldn't make plans for my future. Having the surgery has given me a new lease on life." To learn how you can help others facing a lifetime of blindness, please visit www.donatelife.net. |
