Lions KidSight USA

“Where There’s a Need, There’s a Lion!”

Through our KidSight USA Pediatric Vision Screening program, we have referred many children through the school nurse for further eye care and or examination and treatment. Many parents of those children had no idea that their child had any vision problems.  But because of our Lions KidSight USA program, they were able to get their child the medical care that they needed.  WE SERVE!
