On June 24, the Champlain Valley Lions will be offering free vision screenings for children at University Mall in South Burlington. Using a portable, high-tech screening camera, specially trained Lions Club volunteers can perform a comprehensive, no-contact, vision analysis for any child in about a minute.

Free vision screenings for children are offered through Lions KidSight USA, a Lions Club program whose goal is to identify eye problems early so that children with vision impairments or diseases can be referred to specialists for appropriate care. Since its inception, KidSight Lions volunteers have helped prevent, treat, and cure eye diseases in tens of thousands of Vermont children.

Free KidSight vision screenings are part of the core Lions' commitment to work on behalf of the blind and visually impaired. Thanks to advances in technology, prevention is now a key part of that commitment, and the Champlain Valley Lions are thrilled to offer this service to the community. Parents can bring their children 6 months and older to the University Mall from 1:00 – 4:00 pm on Saturday, June 24 for a free screening. There will also be refreshments and information on the Champlain Valley Lions Club available for those who want to learn more, or volunteer for future KidSight vision screenings.

Phone or text 802-989-8250 for more info on KidSight or the Champlain Valley Lions.
