The Foundation39s Story In the late 1980s Lions Club members in Colorado and Wyoming envisioned the creation of a major eye center that would serve the Rocky Mountain region which then lacked a comprehensive center for the care of vision problems and eye disease. In 1991 dreams started to become reality as Lions formed the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute Foundation RMLEIF pronounced remleaf or remlef to raise half the funding for the project with the other half provided by the University of Colorado. A decade later a worldclass center for vision research education and care opened its doors the Rocky Mountain Lions Eye Institute RMLEI at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus in Aurora Colorado a center of excellence that has raised the level of eye care in the Rocky Mountain region.
