Do your eyes feel dry, gritty, or constantly irritated—especially in the summer?

July is Dry Eye Awareness Month, and FLLEC is here to help. Sun, wind, and A/C can all make symptoms worse.

Common signs include:

Burning or stinging

Blurry vision

Excessive tearing

Redness or light sensitivity

💡Tip: Wear wraparound sunglasses and stay hydrated.

Need help? We offer free eye exams for qualified patients.

Schedule a comprehensive eye exam once a year—even if your vision seems fine. Many serious conditions show no early symptoms. Prevention is the best medicine!

If you are without insurance, at or below 200% of the federal poverty income line, and have a Florida address, FLLEC can help! Visit https://fllec.org/ for more information.

Nystagmus is an eye condition that causes involuntary, rapid movement of the eyes—affecting focus, depth perception, and balance. It can occur at birth or develop later in life, often linked to other visual or neurological conditions.

At FLLEC, we’re committed to providing care for patients with complex eye needs—including those living with nystagmus.

Awareness leads to understanding. Understanding leads to support.

👁️‍🗨️ June is Cataract Awareness Month, and at Florida Lions Eye Clinic, we’re proud to be part of the solution.

Cataracts are the leading cause of vision loss in the U.S., but with timely surgery, sight can be restored. Thanks to our dedicated medical volunteers and staff, FLLEC has performed over 250 eye surgeries this year, 50 more than last year, many of them for patients suffering from cataracts.

In total, we’ve provided:
🔹 3,100+ patient appointments
🔹 $3 million in no-cost services
🔹 All delivered on a lean budget of $800,000

That’s the power of community care and the heart of our mission.

If you or someone you know is struggling with vision loss due to cataracts and cannot afford treatment, we may be able to help.
