Beaufort Lions support Northern Beaufort County residents with low vision by providing low vision equipment, free eye screenings and exams, free glasses, low-cost cataract surgeries, or needed treatments, etc. Donated eyeglasses are sent to the Sight for Mozambique Project as well as several third-world counties. Please bring gently used eyeglasses, cell phones, or hearing aids for donation.
Funds raised are used to support not only local visual needs, but several state services such as MUSC Storm Eye Research Center in Charleston, Leader Dog, and Camp Leo, a free week-long camp on Hilton Head Island for visually impaired youth ranging in ages from 7-17 years. Financial donations are made to the S.C. School for the Deaf and the Blind in Spartanburg and Lions Vision Services in Columbia, a state-wide charitable organization to assist S.C.’s visually impaired residents with visual needs.
Lions Vision Services also provides an annual free opportunity for S.C. adults who are visually impaired to fish from a boat or the shore in Lake Marion.
