Although we are promoting the screening for young children (6 months or older) we will screen the individual regardless of age.

 

The Lions Foundation of Michigan Project KidSight is designed to identify treatable and preventable causes of vision loss in children as young as 6 months. A specialized camera is used to quickly and accurately identify vision disorders such a nearsightedness, farsightedness, unequal refraction power, optical defect, unequal pupil size and gaze deviations through non-invasive testing. The camera reports a “Fail” or “Refer” status, and a detailed report identifying potential problems is provided to the child’s parent or guardian for further follow-up with an optometrist or ophthalmologist. If diagnosed early, 95% of vision disorders can be corrected, however when vision problems are not detected early, vision loss can be irreversible. Over time, treatment options diminish, and the cost of treatment increases.
