Iowa KidSight is a joint project of the Lions Clubs of Iowa and the Department of Ophthalmology & Visual Sciences at the University of Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, dedicated to enhancing the early detection and treatment of vision impairments in young children (target population 6 months of age through kindergarten) in Iowa communities through screening and public education.
Goals of Iowa KidSight:
Objectively screen vision in infants and young children throughout all of Iowa's 99 counties–for FREE.
Educate the public about the risk of undetected vision loss.
Identify ways to sustain vision screening programs of this type.
