Vision Foundation Projects

Minnesota Lions Vision Foundation helps improve vision by providing fiscal oversight and operating funds for Lions Gift of Sight, by raising funds for University of Minnesota Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Neurosciences priorities, by educating the public about eye donation, and by supporting vision-related projects such as used eyeglass recycling. Lions Gift of Sight is the foundation’s oldest project, and other University of Minnesota collaborations followed under the umbrella of the Lions Sight Program. The foundation also collects used eyeglasses throughout the state and makes them available for humanitarian missions. And they annually sponsor an all-star baseball tournament that raises funds for pediatric ophthalmology research. Click to learn more about our current projects.
