Conveniently Located in Balboa Park

The LOVC is centrally located in Balboa Park at 1805 Upas Street, making it easily accessible to clients throughout San Diego. The clinic is open to the public from Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 1 PM, offering a convenient option for those who need vision care during standard business hours. Whether you’re a student, senior, or military member, the clinic is here to provide high-quality care at little to no cost.

Helping San Diego See Clearly

The LOVC provides comprehensive eye exams and prescription eyeglasses to those who qualify. By working closely with local agencies and schools, the clinic ensures that individuals who might otherwise go without vision care are able to receive the help they need. Many of the clients who visit the clinic would not be able to afford these services elsewhere, making the LOVC an invaluable resource for the community.

The Lions Optometric Vision Clinic continues to serve as a testament to the Downtown San Diego Lions Club’s dedication to improving lives through vision care and community support.
