On Tuesday, December 6, 2017 the staff of Strathroy Middlesex General Hospital thanked members of the Eyes Right District A-1 Lions Sight Conservation Foundation whose donation of $78,000, earlier this year, purchased the new Zeiss Surgical Microscope which is used by the Ophthalmology Department during cataract surgery.

“We are deeply grateful to Eyes Right District A-1 Lions Sight Conservation Foundation for their incredible commitment to supporting vision health care in Southwestern Ontario,” says Susan McLean, SMGH Foundation CEO. “Over 100,000 patients in our community have received eye care employing equipment funded by Eyes Right.”
