EAST WINDSOR LIONS TO CONDUCT VISION SCREENING

East Windsor, CT, November 25, 2015– On Monday (December 7th), Tuesday (December 8th), and Wednesday (December 9th), the East Windsor Lions Pediatric Vision Screening Team will be conducting vision screening for pre-schoolers at Broad Brook Elementary School.

Parents or Guardians of pre-schoolers in East Windsor who are not enrolled at the school are welcome to come for a screening between 10:00 AM and 11:00 AM on those 3 days. Additional screenings will take place on Thursday and Friday at two East Windsor day care centers.

For more information on the screenings, contact the Vision Screening Team Leader, Barbara Sherman, at 860-623-2081. According to Barbara, she has received many positive comments about this free service to the community. She also stated that the Lions Club will help pay for glasses for needy families.

Eighty percent of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured. The first step to prevention is awareness. The second is early detection through vision screening. For the past few years, the East Windsor Lions Club has conducted an annual vision screening for pre-schoolers to identify those children who may be at risk for vision loss. Early identification of vision problems leads to timely referral, professional treatment, and improved or restored sight.
