Sight and Hearing Conservation is our Principal Mission!
The Lions of district 24-D take the appeal of Helen Keller in 1925 - to be "the knights of the blind in the crusade against darkness" - directly to heart. They are engaged on many fronts, in our own communities, our nation and around the world, to save or restore vision and hearing to those who don't have the means to care for themselves.
Lions conduct vision screening using a variety of methods. For screening young children, the HOTV and PediaVision screening methods are the principal methods used. Photo Screening has been widely used in the past, but is being phased out due to the declining availability of film and the superior technology of the newer methods. To learn more about PediaVision and HOTV, and to access documents and forms for their use, click on the links on the highlited links or on the links on the left of this page.
The Lions of District 24D also operate a Sight & Hearing Van that can bring vision and hearing screening to any location. Please visit their page on this website or go to their own website at www.lmshu24d.org.
The Lions Charity Foundation of 24D can help clubs provide eyecare for the people in their community. An Assistance with Eyecar form is located on the "forms" page, or you can access it by clicking here.
