πŸ€” Did you know that 1 in 5 children have an undetected vision condition?

Because children adapt quickly, they rarely complain or realize they aren't seeing clearly.

Parents of young children are invited to attend free vision screenings at the libraries on:
πŸ‘οΈ Thursday 24 September, 11.30am-12noon, Gracemere Library
πŸ‘οΈFriday 25 September 11.30am-12noon, Southside Library

πŸ‘‰πŸΎ Fast & Fun: The check takes just a few minutes and uses fun, non-invasive activities.
πŸ‘“ What it tests: Eye alignment, depth perception, color vision, and a quick photo-scan for focusing issues.
😍 Cost: Completely FREE. No bookings required- just drop in.

***This is a screening tool to identify children who may need assistance; it does not replace a comprehensive eye examination. Led by the wonderful volunteers from Lions Club of Rockhampton - Fitzroy River

Lions Eye Health Program - Australia
