The Lions Eye Health Program (LEHP) is a community-based education program empowering Lions to promote healthy vision and raise awareness of the causes of preventable vision loss. Co-branded resources have been developed in collaboration with the National Eye Institute’s National Eye Health Education Program from the United States.
While these materials could be used outside of the United States, we recommend that this be done in partnership with the guiding eye care professional groups in your countries. Lions clubs often partner with other community organizations and eye care professionals to expand their efforts.
