THE Sterling Lions Club offers FREE Early Childhood Vision Screening

Anywhere in Loudoun County or Western Fairfax County as part of our:

LIONS KidSight USA Program

Kids of all ages:  Age 6 Months Up...

To schedule a FREE Screening event, Contact the Sterling Lions Club at (703) 723-0077 or by e-mail at:  SterlingLions@verizon.net.

We have been partnered with the Loudoun County Public Schools to do the State mandated eye screening for the schools during the 2018-19 school year.  This program was a great success, and saved the School Nurses hours of time, and was so well received, that the Loudoun County School System, has invested in the same Spot Vision Screeners, so as to reduce the dependence on our equipment, thus freeing it up for use by more Private Schools and daycare Centers.

We also screen for the Head Start Program as well as St. Theresa's and Our Lady of Hope Catholic Schools.

Is your child's school not included above?  If so, have your child's pre-school, school or daycare center schedule their free KidSight USA Screening now, as Fall Screening dates are filling up fast. 

Click here to contact Lion Davida Luehrs to schedule your screening date of to get more information on the Lions KidSight USA Early Childhood Screening Program.

Our KidSight Early Childhood Vision Screening Program is Back!

Please Contact us to Schedule a FREE KidSight Screening at your Child's Day Care, Pre-School, Kindergarten, Private School, Health Fair or other Community Event.  We can screen individuals from age 6 months of age upward.  It is painless and completely non-invasive.

They went into a hiatus, during the COVID period, and then failed to reboot, due to the inability of the schools to provide volunteer Faculty Advisors for their Clubs, a requirement of both Loudoun County Public Schools and Lions Clubs International.

Eagle Ridge Middle School Leo Club

Farmwell Station Middle School Leo Club

Potomac Falls High School Leo Club

River Bend Middle School Leo Club

IF YOU HAVE A STUDENT AT ANY OF THE ABOVE SCHOOLS, OR AT ANY OTHER EASTERN LOUDOUN MIDDLE OR HIGH SCHOOL, AND THINK THAT YOUR STUDENT WOULD BENEFIT FROM THE POTENTIAL LEADERSHIP SKILLS, EDUCATION, AND OPPOTUNITY THEY WILL LEARN AS A MEMBER OF A LEO CLUB, GET YOUR CHILD'S SCHOOL TO CONTACT US WITH THE NAME AND CONTACT DETAILS OF A FACULTY MEMBER WHO WOULD VOLUNTEER TO STEP UP TO BE THAT FACULTY ADIVSOR, AND WE WILL HAPPLY TO START THE PROCESS TO ESTABLISH A NEW LEO CLUB AT THAT SCHOOL.  ONCE WE HAVE THE FACULTY ADVISOR, GETTING THE MINIMUM OF 20 OF YOUR CHILD'S FRIENDS TO JOIN HIM OR HER IS THE EASY PART TO CHARTER A LEO CLUB.
