LCIF and Johnson & Johnson Vision Care are celebrating 10 years
of partnership this year and reaching a vision screening milestone of more than
16 million children through the Sight for
Kids program. Sight for
Kids addresses childhood visual impairment and blindness in Asia, an area of
great need. Led by Lions and local partners, Sight for Kids recruits eye care
professionals who train local teachers and Lions clubs members to conduct
school-based vision screenings and eye health education in underserved
communities. When needed, students are referred to a local eye care professional
and receive an eye exam, eyeglasses and further care at no cost. During this
anniversary year, the Sight for Kids partners are celebrating accomplishments
and also focusing on the program's potential and a new decade of
efforts.
