Happy New Year! Here are the CA1 KidSight vision screening totals from July 1, 2025 to January 8, 2026. As you can see only 25 MDs and Single Districts have been reporting. (Single Districts are listed as undistricted). SO THESE NUMBERS REPRESENT ABOUT 50% OF WHAT IS REALLY BEING DONE!
EVENTS ORGANIZED 3,014 TOTAL SCREENED 649,590
TOTAL REFERRED 101,020 PERCENT REFERRED 15.55%
Some of the areas that are reporting to the KidSight database are obviously severely under reporting. Some MDs just seem to not want to report at all. It is not hard. I reported a screening we did today with just over 100 kids of 4 different age groups and 20 referrals. It took me about 10 minutes. Reporting to the KS database is not the same as reporting to the Lions Portal. You need to do both. If your area wants to have the work the Lions are doing recognized let me know and I can credential you to enter data. Contact me at kidsightusa@gmail.com.
