Donate your used Eyeglasses to the Lions Club Eyeglasses Program - Lions Recycle for Sight. To help those in need we started the Lions Recycle for Sight program and everyone can help. There are two yellow drop off Mailboxes, one at 8th and S. Taylor near the Happy State Bank ATM and one near the center entrance at West Gate Mall to drop of used eyeglasses.
Here are locations in Amarillo that will accept your used eyeglasses for the Lions Club:
The vision center in both Sam's locations in Amarillo,
Advanced Eyecare
Amarillo Family Eye Clinic
Coulter Drive Optical
Eyemart Optical
Eyeglass World Optical,
St. Luke Eye Institute
Wolflin Vision Clinic
Stanton Optical in Western Crossing on I-40
Texas Tech School of Pharmacy

Owens Corning (Employees only)
Thanks!
Throughout the year, Lions, Leos and other volunteers collect used eyeglasses and deliver them to regional Lions Eyeglass Recycling Centers (LERCs). LERC volunteers clean, sort by prescription strength and package the glasses. Recycled glasses are distributed to people in need in low and middle income communities where they will have the greatest impact.
Eyeglass Recycling – How You Can Help
Donate glasses and change someone's life. Imagine if you could help a child read. An adult succeed in his job. A senior maintain her independence. And provide a community with more opportunities to grow and thrive.
Everyday, our recycled eyeglass programs do all of this and more. For more information click the button below.
