MLERF STORY
In 1951, the LIONS of Massachusetts became aware that each year, 2,500 premature babies were losing their sight at birth from so-called 'baby blindness. As a result, the MLERF - MASS Lions Eye Research Fund was formed in October 1951, dedicating itself to funding research
Our first grant of $5,000 was given to Dr. Ingalls of Harvard Medical School who was instrumental in discovering the cause of baby blindness: too much oxygen being used in the incubators of premature babies. Today, over 125,000 adults can see because of the foresight and concern of
these Lions.
