2024 Screening Results

January 21, 2025

We are so pleased to officially report our final 2024 figures from the Children’s Vision Screening Program. We had a LEHP record breaking year with 15,026 children across Australia receiving a free vision screening. These fantastic results are only possible thanks to the hard work of our Management Committee, our dedicated volunteer screening teams all over the country and the support of so many generous Clubs.
A huge thank you to all who have been involved in some way.

We are always looking for new vision screeners to join this valuable and rewarding activity.

Welcome to 2025

Fellow Lions and all participants in the Lions Eye Health Program.
Welcome to 2025 and I sincerely hope you all had a most enjoyable festive season break.
Over the past few years our Children’s Vision Screening program has expanded beyond our wildest expectations. For 2024 I set a national screening target of 12,000 but due to the hard work and commitment of all involved, we were able to screen almost 15,000 children. I cannot begin to express how proud I am of this outcome.

Shirley’s Shark Pitch

September 9, 2024

Recently Shirley from Marino Digby Lions Club (V2) made an incredible pitch to secure funding to purchase vision screening equipment for the Club. As a result of her efforts, Shirley received pledges of $20,000 to go towards their set up expenses and more. What an incredible result!
“Thanks to donors’ generosity, Merino Digby Lions Club will now be able to purchase all the required equipment such as camera, charts, laptop, printer and paper to start Vision Screening in the South West of Victoria. Not to mention, to assist those children’s families who can’t afford the spectacles required for their children’s vision issues. We are so pleased to be able to now assist our young children in our communities to have the best opportunities in life through great vision.”
