Spring Pediatric Eye Screenings are complete!


Earlier this month, the Avon Lions visited various childcare providers in Avon with a digital retinal camera.  The camera detects various abnormalities in eye development, and within seconds can provide its analysis.

Of the 217 children screened, 15 were referred for a comprehensive eye examination.  What sometimes gets passed off as a lack of attention or other behavioral issues is actually an inability to focus clearly.

The Avon Lions extend a big THANK YOU to all our facility administrators and volunteers.  We look forward to making the rounds again this fall!
