Time to sign up for KidSight Screening for your facility
The Golden Lions Club provides the KidSight Colorado program to elementary schools, pre-schools, and other community groups that are involved with kids in Jefferson County and surrounding communities.
Our volunteers will visit your facility and perform vision screening for your children at no cost. You will then receive the results for the children who may need further referral which you can then forward to the parents.
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.
