Canton Lions Club’s vision screening was deemed a success. Twenty-seven children were screened for vision problems, and three were found to need further help from an ophthalmologist.
The Lions who attended and administered the tests said they were grateful that most of the children tested in the normal range, but pleased that those who needed other care were detected. “It is worth all the time and effort that goes into these screenings if one child’s vision is improved,” said Jimmy Strickland, Immediate Past District Governor of Lions.
