Colorado Lions KidSight Program Annual Report - Lion Holly
Final Numbers for 2017-2018!
As you know, our KidSight Colorado program would not exist without the dedicated work of all of our Lion volunteers throughout the state. We had a small decline in the number of children screened from last year. We had growth from last year in districts 6SE and 6W and declines in the other two districts. With your help we will ensure that Colorado’s young children are identified and treated for vision problems that can impede learning and prevent vision loss associated with amblyopia (lazy eye).
