Lancaster Lions Club has been conducting vision screening for children at schools and daycares in Lancaster this fall. A child's ability to learn becomes more difficult without good vision. Vision problems affect 1 in 20 preschoolers and 1 in 4 school-age children. Since many vision problems begin at an early age, it is very important that children receive proper eye care. Some vision problems must be identified before the child reaches the age of 7 to ensure successful treatment. Untreated eye problems can worsen and lead to other serious problems as well as affect learning ability, personality and adjustment in school. The Lancaster Lions Club has been doing Children's Vision Screening since 2002. Pictured-Seated is Lion Lee Rupnow, standing is Lion Kathy Larsen and Lion Ruth Rupnow. Not pictured - Lancaster community member Lois Bowen assisted with the Children's Vision Screening this year also.
