The Lewiston and Town of Niagara Lions combined efforts during the "Worldwide Week of Service." On Jan. 10, the two groups joined at the Lewiston Public Library for story time and eye screening.
During a photo screening, the screener uses a special camera to take a picture of a child's eyes. Once the instant photo is developed, it is sent to the Ross Eye Institute in Buffalo, which then analyzes the photo to look for any signs of vision problems.
Lewiston Lion Dawn Schmidt said, "I am happy that we are able to offer this service to the community and, despite my busy schedule, I made the time to bring my daughter in for screening."
Future Lions Club eye screenings are in the works. Programming and membership information can be found online at www.lewistoncommunitylionsclub-ny.org.
