Throughout the year, eyeglasses and hearing aids no longer being used, are collected by the Saratoga Springs Lions Club and sent overseas to Lions International-operated sight clinics. After a vision test, each patient receives prescription-appropriate lenses and frames at no cost. The goal: To improve lives through good vision and to prevent blindness.

Collection boxes for eyeglasses and hearing aids can be found at the following Saratoga locations: Wilton Mall, Route 50, outside Lens Crafters Dr. Edwin Davison, 1 West Ave. Saratoga Vision, 95 West Ave. Bay Optical, 414 Maple Ave. (Route 9) Saratoga Springs Public Library, 49 Henry St. Adirondack Trust Co., 473 Broadway, and all branches Wise Building, 60 Railroad Place, 1st floor, near elevator Clements Insurance, 28 Clinton St. Burke/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Home, 628 N.
