FREE VISION SCREENING

Wheaton Public Library (Children’s Dept.)

The “ Lions For Saving Sight” is a community service program that provides a simple non-invasive and cost free preliminary vision screening test performed on young children. It is as simple as taking a picture. The equipment used to take the picture checks for things such as: Farsightedness, Nearsightedness, Lazy Eye and other eye related symptoms. The screenings are free of charge. About one out of 10 children tested are referred to the family’s optometrist for a complete diagnosis.
