The DeAnza Lions collect used eyeglasses for donation to the Vista (Center Directions to Vista Center San Jose – Vista Center for the Blind and Visually Impaired), one of many Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers located throughout the world. The used eyeglasses are cleaned, repaired and classified by prescription.
The eyeglasses are then distributed to those in need by Lion volunteers and other organizations hosting optical missions around the world. DeAnza Lions collect about 6,300 pairs of glasses each year.
