Vision impairment is a huge, vastly under-rated and overlooked program in Australia. LEHP aims to reduce the incidence and impact of vision loss in the Australian Community through a Lions auspiced, community based awareness and education program.
Did you know that around 575,000 Australians over 40 are vision impaired,and that with the aging population this figure is expected to rise to almost 801,000 by 2020. The total cost of vision disorders in Australia is estimated to be $9.85 billion. Three quarters of vision impairment is caused by conditions that are preventable or treatable with early intervention. Help promote prevention and early treatment of eye disease by getting involved in LEHP Australia.
If we become a participating Lions club we will receive unlimited copies of LEHP resource materials free of charge including brochures, flyers, posters, DVD presentations, information and training manuals.
