Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions recently conducted free vision screenings for the Co-Op Summer Enrichment Program, a Mamaroneck School District summer program for low-income children. The screenings were held at the Mamaroneck Avenue School using a clinical handheld camera designed to quickly and easily detect often unsuspected vision issues.
The screenings at Co-Op were launched by Meg Käufer, an LM Lion and the president of the STEM Alliance of Larchmont-Mamaroneck. A total of 68 children were screened, with 18 showing potential problems.
This free vision testing program is part of Lion Screening Eyes Early, an official project of the Lions Clubs of New York state and Bermuda in partnership with Lions KidSight USA, a national Lions initiative.
