Anytime during the year, Cassia County citizens are able to pick up an eye sight application form. The applicant completely fills out the application and returns it to any Lions Club member. These applications are reviewed by the eye sight committee and the board allocates money for the eye examination and glasses for the needy individuals. The Burley Lions Club also collects used eye glasses which are sent to a distribution center for use all over the world. Collection boxes are located in several businesses in the Burley area. The Burley Lions Club has also become involved with a screening program for the Special Olympics. Through a grant made available by LCIF, all Lions Clubs will become involved in this special program. One member of the Burley Lions Club has travelled to Mexico City to be trained as the trainer for the State of Idaho. Several Cateracts, corneal translplant, and ptergyium surgeries have been funded in part by the Burley Lions Club.
