Vision for the Future
Lions Child Sight UK aims to ensure that children across the UK have access to early vision screenings, especially in schools.
By working directly with schools, the program aims to detect potential vision problems at a young age, allowing children to receive the necessary care for optimal development.
This initiative seeks to make screenings accessible and routine, helping prevent undiagnosed vision issues from impacting children’s learning, confidence, and future success.
With this mission, Lions Child Sight UK and Elmet Lions Club hope to create a healthier, brighter future for the next generation.
Why Early Vision Screenings Matter
" Up to 10% of children have an undiagnosed vision problem "
Studies show that children with corrected vision can improve their academic performance by up to 44%.
" 90% of vision issues can be corrected if detected early "
We aim to screen over 100,000 children in our first year, helping them get the eye care they need for better learning and development.
