ADULT VISION
The Lions Club of Taos is serious about helping folks of all ages that struggle with vision problems. We make funds available each year to help defray the costs of vision exams, and the purchase of eyeglasses. We also work with the NM Lions Eye Bank to obtain financial assistance for cataract surgery. We wish to acknowledge St. James Episcopal Church who have been wonderful partners in this effort.

Adult Vision Testimonial by Andy Johnson, Director
I was visiting family for Thanksgiving in Long Island, NY when early that morning I received a phone call from Taos. I answered and it was a man by the name of Juan Angel who had called to thank me and Lions Club for helping him pay for cataract surgery. His surgery went well, he was seeing clearly and just as important the surgery had stopped the gradual decline toward blindness. Juan had chosen this day of Thanksgiving to express his heart-felt thanks. I could tell he was almost in tears.
Juan is the night supervisor at the Taos Men’s Shelter and was referred to Lions. His job is stressful while working with a difficult population. He sensed that his vision was becoming ever cloudier and was getting worse. He was dealing with the stress of the job and his declining vision. We started the interview process working closely with New Mexico Lions Eye Bank and Eye Associates of New Mexico. Angel’s application was approved and he was able to schedule his surgery.
How gratifying it was to be able to help someone in distress and get such an expression of gratitude.
