Since the 1990s, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation (RMLEIF) has supported the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute (UCHealth Sue Anschutz-Rodgers Eye Center) in providing specialized eye care often unavailable in much of the region. Your donations will:
- Fund new equipment to improve patient care
- Cover transportation, lodging, and meals for low-income patients who must travel for treatment
- Support low vision rehabilitation services, helping individuals with sight loss regain their independence and quality of life
Help ensure those in need can access the life-changing treatment they deserve, no matter where they live!
Dedicated to the advancement of eye research, education, and care
In the late 1980s, Lions Clubs in Colorado and Wyoming envisioned a comprehensive eye care center for the Rocky Mountain region, which lacked facilities for vision problems and eye diseases. In 1991, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation was established to raise funds for the project.
By 2001, the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute opened at the Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora, becoming a center of excellence in vision research, education, and care.
The Eye Institute's success is attributed to substantial contributions from Colorado and Wyoming Lions Clubs, the Lions Club International Foundation, the Kenneth Kendal King Foundation, and ongoing support from other generous donors. Today, RMLEIF continues to provide grants for sight-saving care.
