Lions Club organizations in Mexico and Argentina are implementing various visual health and eye care initiatives. 

In Mexico, efforts have focused on community health fairs providing eye examinations and affordable prescription glasses. In Pueblito Mexicano, a visual health fair served over 1,000 people, while in Reynosa, Tamaulipas, the club has partnered with local organizations to offer free screenings and low-cost lenses during back-to-school events. Additionally, in Saltillo, the organization conducted cataract surgeries for 27 individuals and announced upcoming eyewear campaigns.

In Argentina, the Lions Club in Río Grande has completed more than 12,000 visual screenings for children aged 2 to 6 through a partnership with the Tierra del Fuego Ministry of Education. This program, which operates in public schools and kindergartens, is slated for expansion to Tolhuin in September.
