LEHP-Australia

Lions Eye Health Program

LEHP has partnered with the Centre for Eye Health to create a comprehensive Children’s Vision Screening Program and Education Initiatives on Avoidable Vision loss in Australian Adults.

Due to the upcoming 73rd MD 201 Convention 2025 the LEHP National Office will be unattended from Wednesday 30th April – Wednesday 7th May.

Emails will be checked intermittently during this time and any resource orders will be actioned when the office reopens on Thursday 8th May.

If you require anything urgently, please get your requests in by Wednesday 23rd April, or visit us at our booths in the expo area at Convention. We’ll have a limited number of resources and merchandise available – order ahead for pick up at Convention and save on postage!
