In a heartwarming demonstration of what community collaboration can achieve, the Lions Club of Tokai, in partnership with Vision Works Optometrists, has been changing the lives, and vision, of learners at Westlake Primary School since March last year.

Through the Lions BrightSight initiative 70 learners have already received professional eye tests, with 65 of them fitted with much-needed spectacles, all at no cost to the school or parents. The remaining five were treated with eye drops.
