Screening for blindness and eye disease has come a long way since the early days when the Foundation’s first screening projects were carried out in a caravan.

Today the LSSF has regular Screenings all over Western Australia for glaucoma, amblyopia and diabetic retinopathy using professional staff from the Lions Eye Institute and volunteers from the Lions Clubs. The Foundation has received several Government and community awards for the volunteer work.

The advent of Digital Screening—”Teleophthalmology” the sending of images of the eye via the internet - from a rural or remote region to the Lions Eye Institute has brought about a much greater level of precision and enables Screenings to be carried out in remote areas.

Perhaps your community would like a Screening?
It is best on a weekend combined with a local show or field day in your district when crowds can be maximized. The Foundation needs several months notice to be slotted into our calendar.

Call our office to organize.
