Pre-school eyes creening

Eye screening of 99 children ages 3 to 6 at the Child Development Center at Benjamin Franklin School on Wilmore Avenue took place recently by Lions Club members.  Of the 99 screened, 53 were referred for further eye exams.

The Lions Club International, located in Chicago purchased 10 Welch Allyn Sure Sight screening devices at a cost of over $5,000.00 each.  The local Lions District 13 C was presented one of the devices and is in the process of testing all children in Euclid ages 3 to 6.  Lions Club members are trained to use the device.

Performing the screening at CDC were Euclid Lions Club member Pat Nevar and from the Willoughby Hills Lions Club were Dona Klager, Maggie Dellmore, Dorothy Washington and Pat Conley.  Euclid Lions Club member Sandie Brochak was involved in the screening of children at the Roosevelt School.
