VISION AND HEARING ASSISTANCE

For over 25 years, the Aiken Mid-Day Lions Club have provided assistance to individuals living in the Aiken area that require eye exams, eye glasses or specialized equipment needed to improve vision.  Through our partnership with local doctors, eye care centers and South Carolina Lions Vision Services, the Aiken Mid-Day Lions provide this service to individuals that otherwise cannot afford to pay for the services.

VISION SCREENINGS

Through a matching grant from Lions Club International Foundation, The Aiken Mid-Day Lions was able to purchase a vision screening camera. Young children are difficult to screen effectively using chart-based methods. The screener can quickly and easily detect vision issues for ages 6 months through adult. The camera screens both eyes from a nonthreatening 3-foot distance.

Screenings can be arranged for day cares, schools, or church groups at no charge.

The Aiken Mid-Day Lions have a long term relationship in supporting Leader Dogs for the Blind. We've had the privilege of assisting in providing service dogs to local visually impaired citizens over the years - a rewarding experience. We continue to financially support Leader Dogs for the Blind via our major fundraiser, our spring fashion show/silent auction/luncheon as well as through other fundraising opportunities during the year.
