Lions are Sight Savers for Children with Free
Early Childhood Vision Screenings


We offer a screening process which can take 5 seconds or less to complete and can help the 1 in 20 children in the U.S. that has a serious eye disorder which can lead to a lifetime of impaired vision or even blindness.

Early vision testing when children are between 6 months up to 5 years old enables detection when it is still effective to treat a child.  There is a 95% cure rate if vision problems are detected early.

What Parents Need to Know:

50% of children that have trouble learning can attribute it to some kind of vision problem.

It is estimated that 1 in 4 children has a vision issue, usually not visibly observable to parents.

Many parents wrongly assume pediatricians rigorously check for vision problems.  Most pediatricians have limited training in identifying vision problems.  Screenings are important even for children who receive top-notch
medical care.

Many parents believe their child recieves adequate vision testing in school.  Usually these tests consist of reading an eye chart and are unsophisticated and inadequate.
The earlier the child is diagnosed, the higher the success of treatment and cure rate. 

Some eye disorders if diagonsed after the age of five, treatment may not be as effective, and vision impairment may be permanent.

The computerized vision test using the Pediavision requires no physical contact or eye drops, and takes just seconds to perform.  Parents recieve an instant printout with test results indicating if their child needs referral to a Eye Care Specialist for follow-up.
