Avon Lions Club members brought their SEE (Screening Eyes Early) detection program to York Elementary School. This valuable program screens children for vision problems that can lead to amblyopia (known as Lazy Eye). Students in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade. The screening program is done annually in the primary grades so that all elementary students receive the vision detection screening. The Lions SEE vision program focuses on screening young children up to six years old. The trained volunteers from the Avon Lions Club use a device called a Welch Allyn vision screener. The process is simple and non-intrusive. The Lion volunteer holds the vision screener approximately 36 inches from the child. A light flashes and the data is recorded. Thank you to the Avon Lions Club for providing this important vision screening to our students.
