Lions accept prescription and reading glasses, sunglasses, plastic and metal frames. Children's glasses are especially needed. Drop off locations can be found at : Cragin Memorial Library, Colchester Senior Center, Valvoline, Savings Institute Bank & Trust, Norwich Ophthalmology Group and Colchester Eye Care.
