What does KidSight Colorado do?
KidSight Colorado provides free vision screening for children six months through eight years. Lions Club volunteers throughout Colorado conduct vision screening sessions at preschools, kindergartens and other early childhood centers.
Screenings are also conducted at health fairs and other public events throughout the state. The program is designed for children ages six months through six years.
How Much Does This Cost?
The screening is free, thanks to the support and volunteer efforts of the Lions of Colorado. Funding is also provided by individuals, corporations and grants.
How is Vision Screening Done?
It is as simple as having your child’s picture taken. Local Lions Club volunteers use a Plusoptix Mobile 12 screener, a state of the art vision screening device, which is 85-90 percent accurate in detecting vision problems.
It only takes moments per child, requires no preparation or medication and is totally painless. Parental consent is required prior to the screening.
