Join us for a FREE
pediatric vision screening!
On Tuesday, January 26th, trained screeners will be in our Family Resource Center to provide FREE pediatric vision screenings. Each screening takes only five minutes to complete and can provide valuable information about a child's vision system, allowing for early intervention if needed.
All volunteers have been trained in the use of the SPOT vision screening device, which can detect five common risk factors of vision issues in patients as young as six months old. This camera-sized device requires just one second of focus from a child’s eyes to “take a picture”. Parents are always present while a volunteer sits three to five feet away to use the SPOT.
