Lions Club Provides Vision Test For Youth

Skyline Stewart takes part in vision screening being done by
Lions Club members.

Members of the Warren Lions Club have recently provided eye test for young students at the Presbyterian pre-school and the Head Start Center in Warren.  Delbert Zimmerly and Harold Mitchell of the Warren Club are in charge of implementing the  program.  Tim Kessler is the President of the loal club.
Other members help from time to time.

Test are conducted using a special camera that takes a picture of the eyes and indicates any potential sight issue.  If a problem is detected, the parent or guardian is notified and urged to have the students eyes examined by a professional.

Tests were conducted January 16 at the Presbyterian school.  Eighteen students were checked and four were referred for an exam.  At the Head Start Center, six students were checked and two were informed to get an exam.  The test were administered at Head Start January 21.

Plans call for additional testing in Bradley, Drew and Ashley counties.
