Cubsight

Can you tell me if I am going Blind?

By taking a photo of the child’s eyes with a special camera we can determine if the child has amblyopia, commonly referred to as Lazy Eye, or any other eye diseases. By monitoring how the child’s eyes react to light, we are able to prevent blindness in these children with early detection and appropriate care.

The Louisiana Lions have screened over one hundred sixty-seven thousand (167,000) children since the inception of the program. The Louisiana Lions Cubsight Program is sponsored by the Lions Clubs International Foundation, Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation, Louisiana State University Health Science Center, Louisiana Office of Public Health, local Lions Clubs of Louisiana and your generous donations.

Even though we feel that the CubSight Program is a successful program and we have identified hundreds of children with eye diseases, we still need your help. Even with volunteers from more than 100 clubs, that have been trained to utilize the Welch Allyn SureSight Vision Screener, there are many children we have not seen yet. We are in need of additional screening equipment, so we can have additional Lion members screening your children all over the state.
