Club Supports Health Care Unit with Preschool Vision Screening

September 3, 2013

By Ken Phillips, chair

On August 12, the club served a day with the Mobile Health Unit at the Montgomery Fair.  Lions Bill Mahylis, Julie Sain, and Ken Phillips along with partner in service Helen Mahylis manned the preschool vision screening service and screened 10 children.

During the shift from 10:00 to 12:30, tests were conducted to check depth perception, lazy eye, and other vision problems for children too young to read a normal eye chart.  If a problem is evident, they are referred to an eye doctor.  These tests are done with an instrument that uses a laser to measure the characteristics of the eye and indicates possible eye abnormalities.  It is emphasized that these tests are screenings and not a substitute for a professional eye exam.
