HAVRE DAILY REPORT FOR HAVRE LIONS EYE TESTING SUMMARY
Havre Lions traveled over 1200 miles testing eye on the Hi-Line!
Havre Lions Eye Testing concluded for 2018-19 year, after testing eyes at 12 different towns on the high line. They were at child finds: Rocky Boy, North Star (2 Days), Havre (3 days), Hinsdale, Whitewater, Saco, Dodson, Turner, Harlem, Chinook, Chester, and Big Sandy.
Lions tested 577 children (ages 6 months to 8 years) with 84 being referred in the 8 community or town locations. They tested for 10 days. There were 3-4 Team members at each location. They concluded this Lions project is really needed for early detection of visual problems in children. This work is rewarding to the Lions involved and "FUN" getting to work with the little kids. Havre Lions gave each child tested their choice of a "Lion's Paw Button" or a "Havre Lions Pencil", of course the pins/buttons were the favorite choice of most younger kids.
At Havre there was 3-days of screenings. 164 children tested. We were fortunate in working side-side with Dr. Erica Farmer OD in Havre. She of course had ability to read our screen-data for each child. If there was any doubt for the Plus Optix machine's readings, she verified the readings. Dr. Farmer was really impressed with Havre Lion's Plus Optix machine.
