Lions Campaign a ‘Spectacular’ Success

Over 1,000 pairs of used eyeglasses have been donated for reuse in Africa as part of an inaugural ‘Spectacles Campaign’ involving Killarney Lions Club, national schools and local opticians.
Sixteen schools along with Kennelly’s Pharmacy and Opticians, Urban Optics, Specsavers and The Optical Suite provided collection points for donations of glasses, sunglasses and prescription reading glasses over recent weeks.
All four opticians have agreed to provide an ongoing collection point on their premises, which means members of the public can continue to donate used glasses all year round from now on.
"We are thrilled with the response to this campaign by the people of Killarney," said Denis Doolan, President of Killarney Lions Club. "Thanks to everyone’s generosity, and to great collaboration by all local national schools and opticians, people with sight issues in Africa will now be able to get a pair of glasses that will make a big difference to their daily lives. On top of that, from now on as part of an ongoing arrangement, anyone who has a pair of unused glasses can from drop them into one of the opticians’ premises in Killarney, which is fantastic and will hopefully lead to many more glasses being donated”.
