School Year 2023-2024 Vision Pre-Screening
Vision pre-screening by the RI Lions clubs began soon after the school year started. Once the many of the school districts where the Lions clubs do the vision prescreening was complete (or nearly complete), the equipment used was available for the RI Lions Sight Foundation (RILSF) members to start doing vision prescreening in the towns where the local Lions club do not have the resources or time to do this volunteering.
In the 2023-2024 school year, the RILSF and local Lions clubs helped school nurses by prescreening 29,801 RI students (kindergarten, grades 1-5, 7, and 9) at 141 schools.
The following table breaks out the data by town:
All screenings are coordinated with each school nurse. If a recommendation to see an eye professional is giving for a student, the nurse may rescreen the student and, if comes to the same conclusion, notifies the student's parent(s) of this recommendation.
All K-12 students in RI can get eye testing and, if necessary, eye glasses. See the Eye Exams and Eye Glasses RILSF program for more information.
