Unfortunately for many, a pair of glasses is both unaffordable and inaccessible. In developing countries, an eye exam costs as much as one month's wages, and a single doctor may serve a community of hundreds of thousands of people.
For nearly 70 years, individual Lions Clubs have collected used eyeglasses for distribution to the needy in developing nations.
Volunteers are needed to help sort glasses for distribution to other countries at the Marie Katzenbach School for the Deaf.
