The Lions Eye Bank of Texas provides sight-restoring corneal tissue. The eye bank is located in the Texas Medical Center in Houston with branches in Port Arthur and Corpus Christi. The Lions Eye Bank of Texas is supported by the Lions of District 2-S2 and by Lions of Districts 2-A3, 2-S1 and 2-S4. The success of this eye bank is demonstrated by the fact that no one who needs a cornea in any of the four Lions districts it serves ever has to wait for a cornea. Furthermore, continuing Lions' support assures that anyone who needs a cornea will have one, regardless of the person's financial situation.

Houston Ear Research Foundation was incorporated in August, 1983 as a center to provide excellence in service dedicated to the cochlear implant.  Sometimes referred to as an “electronic ear,”a cochlear implant enables a deaf or severely-to- profoundly hearing impaired individual to hear sound. Our cochlear implant program is now in its eighteenth (18th) year.  Approximately 325 children and 200 adults  have received the cochlear implant in our Houston program since March, 1983. 
It is here to stay and will offer many children and adults a chance to become a part of our hearing society.  We know the cochlear implant is only the beginning for some of these individuals.

It is truly amazing what a little sound will do!

HOBY was founded in 1958 by veteran actor Hugh O’Brian after an inspirational nine-day visit with Dr. Albert Schweitzer at his clinic in Africa. Motivated by Dr. Schweitzer’s remark, “The most important thing in education is to teach young people to think for themselves,” Mr. O’Brian established HOBY. Since its beginning, nearly half a million young people have participated in HOBY’s programs throughout the world. Annually, over 20,000 public and private high schools are invited to select an outstanding tenth grader to attend HOBY leadership development seminars that are run principally by a dedicated group of more than 4,000 volunteers.
