Vision Health
Vision is a strong predictor of academic performance in children. Yet, 1 in 4 children have an undiagnosed vision problem.
Vision disorders in children affect cognitive, social, and physical development; future health; and well-being. An eye health problem can be the reason a child does not perform well at school. Conditions such as amblyopia (lazy eye) or strabismus (crossed eye) can go undetected and, if not addressed by the time a child is eight years old when eyesight is fully developed, can lead to lifelong problems and result in an irreversible loss of sight.
The Lions World Vision Institute is dedicated to the ocular health of our nation’s children and has launched three vision health programs:
Vision Health Programs
We ensure early detection of vision issues in children, providing everything from initial screening to glasses dispensation and referrals for further care.
Clinic Calendar
These events are specifically designed for children ages 5-17 and under, offering a gateway to essential vision care services.
Community Resources
Our programs provide caregivers, educators, and eye care professionals with resources, guidance, and tools to support those they serve.
