Lions throughout the state have been challenged to screen all children in the age group of 3 to 6 for eye pathology.
For the sixth year Bluffton Lions have been screening children’s eyes ages 3 and into kindergarten.
Local schools and day care facilities have been compliant in obtaining parental consent for this eye screening, making the volunteer process go quite smoothly.
