“People Caring for People”, the cornerstone of Lionism, is actively
demonstrated through the Lions Low Vision Services (L.O.V.E.)
Program. Known as the “L.O.V.E.” Program, the Lion Clubs of
Southern California have responded enthusiastically and generously
to the establishment of the vital program for the partiallysighted.
The L.O.V.E. Program, in cooperation with Optometric Center of
Los Angeles and the Southern California College of Optometry
offer complete vision care services including such specialties as low
vision devices and vision therapy. Patients of the program receive
complete vision examinations and prescribed correction and treatment.
Patients receive top quality services from the Optometric
Center, a teaching clinic staffed by optometrists, ophthalmologists,
college interns and complete office personnel. The program,
through the center, has for its patients, available loaner library of
special Low Vision Aids, prescription glasses, contact lenses and
vision therapy services. The center has over a hundred years of
experience in identifying and solving diverse problems of patients
seen in both private and clinical practice.
Fees
The L.O.V.E. Program provides services based on the patients
ability to pay. For the truly indigent, the cost may be almost nothing.
Regular fees will be charged for those who can afford to pay.
All patients must either pay for the services through personal funds
or private insurance. Patients may also request for financial assistance.
Funding
The Lions Clubs of Southern California, along with grants and
donations from other charitable individuals and entitles support
the financial needs of the program.
