The Fairfax Lions Club completed a vision screening event at the Main Street Child Development Center in Fairfax on Oct 7. Fifty pre-school children age 3 to 5 were screened, and ten were referred for a complete eye exam. One of the referrals could not be screened after four failed attempts because the boy’s pupils were too small. A 20% referral rate is quite high for pre-school children. It is a privilege to be able to help identify possible vision problems in young persons.
