Dedicated to improving vision and enhancing lives of those in need
The Washoe County Lions Sight Conservation Committee is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization sponsored by Lions Clubs within Washoe County and the Fernley/Wadsworth area.
Our aim is to provide basic, essential eye care services to children and adults in need. We focus on those referred for eye examinations and eyeglasses, offering these services free of charge to eligible individuals based on Federal Poverty Guidelines.
How It Works:
- Referrals and Applications: We receive referrals and applications from schools, community service agencies, healthcare providers, our websites, individuals, and Lions Clubs across Washoe County and the Fernley/Wadsworth area. Each fully completed and signed application is carefully evaluated on a monthly basis, and qualified applicants will be accepted into the program.
- Service Provision: Accepted applicants receive a letter and/or voucher with instructions on how to utilize our services. We will help guide you through this process. Eye examinations are generously provided as personal donations of time, expertise and resources by dedicated optical professionals and businesses.
- Additional Support: The Committee also offers information and referrals for free Lions sight-related services, which may include eye surgeries.
Our Impact: Since its formation in 1977, the Committee has invested over $500,000 to assist more than 10,000 children and adults in the Washoe County area.
