Eyeglasses that are collected are sorted (Rx, non-Rx, Sunglasses, etc.) and taken to the Georgia Lions Lighthouse in Chamblee.  They are cleaned then prepared for distribution for those going on mission trips to other countries where eyeglasses are difficult to obtain.  Please contact us if you need assistance with an eye exam or glasses.
