Free vision exams for children ages six months to 16 will be offered from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, April 20.
A clinic by Aurora Noon Lions Club will take place at Aurora Public Library West Branch, 233 Constitution Drive in Aurora.
The public is invited. Admission and parking are free. Advance registration is not required. Walk-ins are welcome.
Lions volunteers offer monthly clinics on the third Saturday of the month at the library.
Volunteers use a handheld Plusoptix screener to check eye health of kids for near-sightedness, called myopia; far-sightedness, hyperopia; and astigmatism, egg-shaped eye.
Adults are notified if a screening indicates a vision problem that requires a comprehensive exam.
Vision cameras are supported by a grant from Lions International Foundation. The effort is part of Lions Kidsight USA, community eye-screening for children sponsored by Lions International.
Noon Lions president Susan Koepke said warning signs of vision problems are changes in vision, changes in eye appearance, eye pain or irritation, and infections or allergies.
Lions began free monthly eye exams for children in May 2023 at the library.
