The goal of KidsSight is to discover vision problems in 3- to 6-year-old kids.

The first few years of a child's life are critical in the development of good vision. Children should have their vision checked for issues such as misaligned eyes and for problems that need correction with eyeglasses. These problems are not always evident by simply looking at a child. Young children often compensate for vision problems so well that parents, teachers, and pediatricians are unaware of a problem. The equipment we use detects six different vision problems.  Many common vision-robbing conditions such as “lazy eye” can be effectively treated if detected in a child’s formative years.

The program is successful and has grown to screen over 50,000 Colorado screenings per year with a referral rate of 11.3% - about 5,500 kids.  The Denver Lions screen about 2500 kids per year.  Lions are making a difference in many kids' lives

Most screenings take less than a morning during the school week.

Screenings are scheduled weeks and months ahead.  The screenings are posted on the Denver Lions Calendar on the website.  Find a date you like and click on the screening for more details.  The details include the name, location, date and time, number of kids to screen.

We use the PlusOptix vision screener which is very easy to use.  The learning curve is quick.   One or two screenings with a trained screener are all that is necessary.  

 

As the school year winds down, we have a lot of screenings scheduled in April.  Some are small, and others are large.  Look at the Denver Lions Calendar for details.
