Lions conduct eye screening

The Crowley Lions Club, in cooperation with the Louisiana Lions Eye Foundation, conducted free CubSight screening Monday morning at St. Michael Elementary School.
Joining local Lions Club members at the school were LLEF Executive Director Chris Carlone and wife, Kathy.
LLEF CubSight is a vision screening program designed to identify existing or potential vision disorders in children.
Although CubSight will screen children up to the age of 18, the program is primarily designed to screen children between the ages of 1 and 6 and to inform the parent or guardian of their child’s results.
Through early detection and early treatment, many vision problems can be corrected or even reversed with the help of an eye doctor. In some cases, blindness may be prevented.
The CubSight Vision Screening Program is conducted by volunteer Lions and offered 100% free to schools, daycare centers, churches and all residents of Louisiana.
Children are individually screened by having them focus on a vision screening device from 3 feet away. This device takes a photo of the child’s eyes and is able to detect many different abnormalities.
The Lions conducted similar screening recently at Northside Christian School.
