The Lions SightFirst Foundation of Southern Nevada is a major-service program of Lions District 46. It is the successor organization to the Southern Nevada Lions Sight Conservation Committee, which was reorganized in 2005 to accommodate more extensive programs that are totally free-of-charge to the recipients. Most, if not all, of the eye care projects of Lions clubs in southern Nevada are now conducted by LSF thus, making it much easier and faster for the disadvantaged, the uninsured, and the underinsured to receive care.

Coming soon.

The Lions Clubs in the Reno-Sparks area, to more efficiently coordinate and evaluate the numerous requests for eye examinations and glasses from individuals and school children in the Truckee Meadows, formed the Washoe County Sight Conservation Committee in 1977.

The White Cane Days program provides funds for financial aid to nonprofit institutions serving the blind, for the purchase of special opthainological equipinent for hospitals and clinics, for summer vacations and recreation for sightless children, for eye surgerys and therapy in schools, for mobile vision screening units, for Braille writers and books, for providing meeting places and assistance for sightless groups, and to finance surgery and hospital care for worthy people.

The Lions HealthFirst Foundation is providing free ultrasound test screenings for low-income seniors and low-cost screening for others. To succeed we have to inform, educate and motivate people to be proactive in matters regarding their health.
