MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Tennessee Lions Charities was formed in 1995 with the mission of improving the vision of preschool-age children. In support of this mission, we partnered with Vanderbilt University’s Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences to develop the KidSight Outreach vision screening program. KidSight Outreach vision screenings provide early detection of potential vision problems which are treatable before a child enters kindergarten, removing an obstacle that could have hampered the early stages of their educational, social, and personal development.

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

KidSight Outreach Trained volunteers conduct eye screenings of young children to identify, for treatment, potential vision problems. Screenings are conducted at Head Start programs, day care centers, kindergartens, and other locations where children are supervised on a regular basis. Findings are interpreted by medical professionals and parents are notified of results. Our program consists of three interdependent parts: an organizational structure, field protocol governing the use of the screening instrument, and assured follow-up. Once treated, the cognitive, social and emotional aspects of the child will vastly improve. Early identification and professional vision care of young children can allow them to begin school with good sight and the opportunity to learn up to their potential. Tennessee Lions Eyeglasses Recycling If your club would like to deliver your collected eyeglasses to the MD-12 State HQ, please complete the form below. This will ensure that someone will be in the office and masked to receive your club's collected glasses. Lions who deliver glasses, must also wear a mask during delivery.
