Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation

The Kentucky Lions Eye Foundation was founded in 1954 by the Louisville Downtown Lions Club and has been governed by the Lions of Kentucky since it's inception.   In 2024, we celebrated 70 years of saving sight! We are committed to filling the gaps that exist for many Kentuckians by providing affordable access to vision services. Funds raised during Give For Good Louisville will help support the various programs we offer in support of our mission to provide vision services through education, detection, prevention, treatment and empowerment. Through collaborative partnerships, we enable greater independence and increased quality of life for all Kentuckians while focusing on children and adults in financial need. 

Our reach extends across the Commonwealth.  KLEF annually provides over 30,000 FREE vision screenings to Kentucky children and adults, facilitates more than 40 eye surgeries, and provides aid to low vision individuals to improve their quality of life.

Help us meet our goal of $20,000 with the help of 100+ donors!
