- South Tucson Lions Club: The South Tucson Lions Club recently conducted their 100,000th vision screening for local children. The Lions work with Tucson-area schools to fulfill free vision screenings. Approximately one in five children are referred to an optometrist for a complete eye exam and potentially glasses. If the child is not covered by insurance and the family cannot afford it, the Lions will cover the cost. This year, the Lions will screen in over 65 schools.
