Lions KidSight USA is a nation-wide program that brings Lions clubs across the country together to ensure our children receive eye screenings and follow-up care when needed.
1-in-3 young children have poor but correctable vision - often just needing eyeglasses.
An estimated 25 million children have now gone for almost two full years without a simple, yet potentially life-changing, vision screening. Additionally, the switch to remote education over “tiny screens” may have caused a surge of children with correctable myopia, which has spiked to affect nearly half of ALL children in recent studies.
Lions KidSight has expanded internationally so it will no longer sponsor any Top Ten Awards. The past winners are to be congratulated for their efforts and contributions. Moving forward, as part of the Lions International Service Activities
Division we will emphasize children's vision screening worldwide.
Lions KidSight is now an international vision screening and correction campaign to help clear the backlog of the MILLIONS of children – aged 6 mos and through early grade
school - who are going without a basic vision screening.
This volunteer initiative is brought to you by the Lions KidSight an Lions International program that brings Lions clubs worldwide together to ensure our children receive eye screenings and follow-up care when needed.
