In April 2006 the Belton Lions Club Sight Committee initiated a change in the procedure for obtaining new eye exam/glasses; whereas the Lions will pay 100% for the first two exam/eye glass requests and 50% on the third request.  After an individual has been helped three times, there will be no additional aid provided.  As in previous years, the individual must wait three years before requesting another exam/pair of glasses.
