SIGHT AND HEARING CASES:
Each year, the WVLSCF funds surgery cases, which individuals are unable to afford and are beyond the financial means of the local clubs. This includes:
- Cataract Surgery
- Glaucoma Surgery
- Crossed Eyes
- Other sight related services, as needed
Currently the Foundation is in partnership with the West Virginia Academy of Ophthalmology, WVU Eye Institute and doctors and hospitals throughout the State of West Virginia to provide surgeries.
