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.
 

However, young children – preschoolers – may also have visual conditions that are sight threatening. The most common is amblyopia, or lazy eye.  This is a condition in which the vision of one eye just doesn’t develop the same as the other.  If not detected and treated by age 6 the chances of successful outcomes drop off dramatically.  This can affect a child throughout their life.  Our simple, safe, touchless screening can detect risk factors for this condition in less than 1 second in a cooperative child.

A Partnership of State Programs
Across the entire country - from Oregon on the west coast to Connecticut out  East - Lions KidSight initiatives have been operating since 1998, when the first generation of vision screening cameras were introduced, using older film-based 
technologies that require manual interpretation of the photos. Nowadays, all these programs use newer, more efficient and touch-less digital screening devices.

Welcomes YOU!

Join us and SERVE! 

Lions meet the needs of local communities and the world every day because they share a core belief - to serve their community.

Lions have a dynamic history. Founded in 1917, we are best known for fighting blindness, but we also volunteer for many different kinds of community projects - including caring for the environment, feeding the hungry and aiding seniors and the disabled.

Lions give sight. By conducting vision screenings, equipping hospitals and clinics, distributing medicine and raising awareness of eye disease, Lions work toward their mission of providing vision for all. We have extended our commitment to sight conservation through countless local efforts and through our international SightFirst Program, which works to eradicate blindness.

Lions serve youth. Our community projects often support local children and schools through scholarships, recreation and mentoring. Internationally, we offer many programs, including the Peace Poster Contest, Youth Camps and Exchange and Lions Quest.

Our Leo Program provides the youth of the world with an opportunity for personal development through volunteering. There are approximately 144,000 Leos and 5,700 Leo clubs in more than 140 countries worldwide.

Lions award grants. Since 1968, the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) has awarded more than US$700 million in grants to support Lions humanitarian projects around the world. LCIF was also ranked the number one nongovernmental organization in a 2007 study by The Financial Times.

Lions help during disasters. Together, our Foundation and Lions are helping communities following natural disasters by providing for immediate needs such as food, water, clothing and medical supplies – and aiding in long-term reconstruction.

Lions are active. Our motto is "We Serve." Lions are part of a global service network, doing whatever is necessary to help our local communities.
