Lions Eye Health Programme
The Lions Eye Health Program (LEHP, pronounced "leap") is a community-based education program that allows Lions Clubs, other community organisations, and individuals to promote healthy vision and raise awareness of the causes of preventable vision loss.
The mission of LEHP is to empower communities to save sight through the early detection and timely treatment of glaucoma and diabetic eye disease, encourage those at risk to undergo a dilated eye exam, and educate those with low vision and their caregivers about the condition.
LEHP is the main SightFirst-funded initiative and has been active in the United States, Japan, the British Isles and Ireland, Canada, Australia, and Turkey for several years. Everyone interested in eye health can now participate in LEHP and help to increase eye health awareness.
