The screening is free to all children, preschoolers, and adults
It is as simple as having your child’s picture taken. Local Lions Club volunteers use a Welch Allyn SpotTM Vison Screener, a state-of-the-art vision screening device, which is 85-90 percent accurate in detecting vision problems. It only takes moments per child, requires no preparation or medication and is totally painless.
Parental consent is required prior to the screening of children 18 years and younger. Parent or guardian must accompany the child to the screening or send a signed consent form with each child. (For consent form send request to rkwswan@gmail.com )
The first few years of a child’s life are critical in the development of good vision. Preschoolers should have their vision checked for issues such as misaligned eyes, and problems that need correction with eyeglasses. These problems are not always evident by simply looking at a child. Young children often compensate for vision problems so well that parents, teachers, and pediatricians are unaware of a problem. By the time the child is old enough to be in primary grades, many of these common vision-robbing conditions can no longer be effectively treated. Amblyopia, also known as lazy eye, can develop when an undetected vision problem goes untreated during a child’s formative years. The incidence of amblyopia in the United tates is estimated to be 3 to 5 % of the population. Vision problems can also result in learning difficulties as a child enters the primary grades.
