Did you know that failing to detect amblyopic (impaired or dim vision) risk factors in children may lead to partial or full blindness or issues with child development or social-emotional behavior? Or that 1/4 of school aged children suffer from a vision disorder? Or that vision disability is the single most prevalent disabling condition among children?
Several years ago, District 33-S received its first Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener (a.k.a. Spot Camera) for use by all Lions Clubs in our district. The district was just approved to receive an LCIF matching grant to purchase another Spot camera! Lions from District 33-S, on a recent trip to Honduras took one of the Spot cameras with them and screened hundreds of children in the communities they served.
This camera is a specialized portable handheld device designed to help Lions quickly and easily detect vision issues on patients from 6 months of age through adult. Spot Vision Screener technology is changing the way routine vision screening is done. All Lions can learn how to use the Spot camera; contact Richard Freitas or the district eyemobile committee to find out when and where training is available.
The spot camera screens both eyes at once from a nonthreatening 3-foot distance. The screening starts with a single touch to the camera and which initiates capture of results for both eyes in seconds. The older Snellen Chart test would take an average of 6 minutes to complete. Within seconds, the on-screen data results can be shared with the patient on screen or printed to discuss recommendations for follow-up care with an eye doctor.
This camera provides an automated, objective vision screening that reduces the risk of missing pre-amblyopic and amblyopic risk factors in children and adults. The results displayed from the screening need no interpretation by the screener. The information can be passed on and shared with eye care specialist and doctors to receive appropriate care for the patient. The American Academy of Pediatrics supports instrument-based vision screening as an alternative to visual acuity testing with eye charts (e.g., Snellen Chart). These techniques have better success after 12 months of age and can be repeated at each annual preventative medicine encounter through 5 years of age or until visual acuity can be assessed reliably.
Since then, the main service focus of Lions International and its member clubs has been to champion for and serve those afflicted with blindness, low vision, and other vision-related ailments. The Janesville Lions Club is proud to carry on that tradition locally with its efforts to annually provide vision screening to all P4J and kindergarten students.
Identifying and correcting vision-related issues at an early age may help the child be a better student, perform better in school or extracurricular activities, or promote better self-esteem because they no longer feel excluded or left out of activities because of their vision or lack thereof.
In the fall of 2022 we received the green light to resume our vision screening program in the Janesville elementary schools. Lions members received some refresher training on how to use the camera in late September, and by early October were in the schools.
During the 2018-19 school year and using a camera borrowed from the Beloit Lions Club, the Janesville Lions screened more than 1,100 students from all 12 School District of Janesville elementary schools, as well as several area private/parochial schools and private daycare facilities that are a part of the Preschool4Janevsille (P4J) program.
Our results showed possible vision issues in about 1 in 6 students. Parents were notified of the findings and encouraged to take their child to see an optometrist. Those families who could not afford the cost of the appointment, vision correction, or both, were referred to HealthNet of Rock County and the Lions Club covered the costs.
For the past month, Massachusetts Lions District 33Y, representing Berkshire Hampden, Hampshire and Franklin counties, has been demonstrating the use of "Spot" to local Lions Clubs, as well as using the device to screen youngsters in the region for seven vision disorders including nearsightedness, farsightedness and irregularly shaped corneas and lenses.
In speaking before a recent Dalton Lions Club meeting, Laing explained how the computerized camera automatically focuses on the subject's face and takes a picture. A wireless signal from the camera to a printer generates a hard-copy of data that the parent can bring to an optometrist for interpretation.
Oklahoma KidSight started in Oklahoma with a grant from Lions Clubs International Foundation (2013) and the Enbridge Foundation (2014). Under the leadership of Tom Cummings, this program has grown to screen over 18K children. Since then, Lions have purchased a total of 10 cameras that are used in all the Oklahoma Lions Districts.
More than 12 million school-age children in the United States have some form of vision problem. Many vision problems run the risk of becoming permanent if not corrected by the time the eye reaches full maturity. Vision also plays an important role in education. According to educational experts, 80 percent of learning is visual.

NLP staff install camera traps to track wildlife for performance payments.In Niassa, performance payments are particularly important now as targeted lion poaching has grown to be a pressing threat. Historically, poaching in Niassa has been focused on bushmeat, not specifically lions. But recently, there has been a worrying increase in demand for lion body parts, which has caused poachers to deliberately put lions in their crosshairs.
A night vision camera trap photo of two lions in Ruaha National Park.NLP has already seen significant reductions in poaching by implementing other performance payment programs in partnership with communities. New funding from the LRF will help advance these programs and anti-poaching law enforcement with partners across the Reserve. Similar to Ruaha, this project will use camera traps. Each wild animal captured on camera generates a certain number of points, with the more threatened and conflict-causing species worth more. Every three months, those points are tallied and converted into specific goods that are paid out to each of the 10 participating villages, creating a solid link between community benefits and the presence of wildlife.
A lion in Niassa Special Reserve.Performance payments are a great investment because they diminish the challenges and costs inherent in living with lions, so that coexistence is worthwhile and the presence of wildlife is valuable. In Niassa, this could be a key part of ensuring that lions continue to safely inhabit one of the greatest and last true wilderness areas on Earth.

Sam, a Stillwater kindergartener, just participated in the Stillwater Noon Lions vision screening program. Last fall, the Lions checked the vision of 1,249 Stillwater students, of which 14 were private school students and 28 were home schooled students. Of the total number tested 121 were recommended for further screening by an eye specialist.
The Lions International KidSight Program performs vision screenings through thousands of Lions Club programs in the United States. Stillwater Noon Lions concentrates its screening on Pre-K through 2nd grade students. This year, Stillwater Lions expanded its vision screening to private and homeschool students of all ages.

More than 12 million school-age children in the United States have some form of vision problem, yet only one in three have received eye care services before age 6. Many vision problems run the risk of becoming permanent if not corrected by age 7, when the eye reaches full maturity. Vision also plays an important role in education. According to educational experts, 80 percent of learning is visual.
