Estimates are that low vision devices can help two out of three visually impaired individuals. Individual needs may vary from wanting to read or viewing a com­puter screen or television, to being able to view distant objects.

The Olympia Host Lions Club and donations from the public fund the Lions Low Vision Resource Center. Organizations and individuals in our community have donated the low vision devices in the center. The center loans or gives these aids to our guests. The center can provide our guests with free eye examinations and glasses, if qualified.
