LYNDONVILLE – Members of the Lyndonville Lions Club once again carried out their annual vision screening program at the Lyndonville Elementary School on April 22.
The Lions Club offered visual screening and visual acuity checks to over 100 elementary students in the Lyndonville school district. Sharon Smith, Lyndonville district superintendent and a Lions Club member, thanked the Lions for their continued efforts in this vision screening clinic.
She added that the detection of visual problems is critical in younger students to enhance future learning. Smith also stated that this program is free to the school, and for a large number of the students tested, this was their first formal vision exam. The club was assisted by members of the Medina Lions Club and the Lyndonville School “Leo’s Club” during this event.
The Lyndonville Lions carried out their 5th annual “Pop-Up Eye Clinic” on Saturday at the White Birch Golf Resort in Lyndonville. The free clinic found people waiting in line early Saturday morning as the clinic doors opened at 9 a.m.
The clinic supplies free eye examinations, Glaucoma screening and refraction eye exams to access one’s need for glasses to improve their vision. Those attendees who needed glasses were given an opportunity to select a free glass frame and the frames will be returned in a few weeks with new lenses in them.
The clinic served over 100 members of the Town of Yates and surrounding areas. The Lions Club of Lyndonville wants to thank the Olcott, Kenmore and Medina Lions Clubs for their volunteers who assisted during the eye clinic.
