Program Description

Event Details

The Simsbury Lion's Club will offer free pediatric eye screenings for children ages 6 months to 5 years.  The process is simple, kid-friendly, and takes less than 5 minutes. Using a special camera, a trained volunteer will take a photo of your child. Based on this photo, the machine will print out information about your child's vision that can be shared with your child's pediatrician. Call 860-658-7663 option 4 to sign up.

Eighty percent of all visual impairment can be prevented or cured. The first step to prevention is awareness. The second is early detection through vision screening. Early identification leads to timely referral, professional treatment, and improved or restored sight.

This is an in-person INDOOR program.
