Final Numbers for 2018-2019!
Holly Rutherford-Allen
As you know, our KidSight Colorado program would not exist without the dedicated work of all of
our Lion volunteers throughout the state. We had a decrease in the number of children screened
from last year but still screened many children and our referral rates were up slightly in all
districts. Congratulation to District 6SE who had an 8 percent increase in the number of children
screened from last year and to District 6W who increased the number of children screened by 20
percent.
AWESOME WORK! With your help this year we will again ensure that Colorado’s
young children are identified and treated for vision problems that can impede learning and
prevent vision loss associated with amblyopia (lazy eye).
