Welcome to the Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation Web Site

The Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation is a charitable non-profit organized by the Lions of Kentucky. (501-c-3)

Our Mission: To prevent and cure blindness by supporting eye research, operating eye clinics and screenings and eye banks.

The foundation's activities are supported through funds contributed by Lions & Lioness Clubs, individual members, businesses, benefactors, memorials and bequests.

Approximately one-third of adults will fail a vision screening and need to see an eye doctor. In low-income senior groups, the failure rate can be as high as 50%.

The Vision Screening program can provide vital eye health and eye safety information to the population throughout our state. KLEF stands ready to help Lions Clubs take a more active role in saving the sight of Kentuckians.
