KidSight eye screening is our flagship service project. More than 20 years ago, our club members voluntarily donated the money necessary to purchase the latest technology in eye screening equipment. Due in large part to our success in Taos, the State of New Mexico now makes funds available to multiple Lions Clubs (and other partners) for updated vision testing equipment, which allows us to instantly screen the vision of almost all Taos County school children of all ages to identify where there may be problems developing. From there, we recommend the student seek the help of a local eye care professional.  When necessary, we can also help your child acquire a spare pair of glasses to be left at the school. Currently, we are developing a new program to help colorblind students, we hope to begin offering this service next year. Our latest camera equipment was provided to us with a grant for the LOR Foundation.  We are very grateful to LOR for their support in providing vision screening to all students with state of the art equipment that allows us to expand our reach.   ​We believe good vision is an essential component of learning.Our goal is to identify vision problems early, correct them, and give the student the best opportunity to learn to their fullest potential. The 2024 year was a banner year for screening. We screened 3,000 students at 24 schools! Over 800 students were referred to eye professionals. 26 volunteers traveled 6,470 miles to test all these students!  We will begin screening again in September 2025. Would you like to help us?
