Child Eye Screen/Lions Club Chili
Donation protected
The Lions Club of Chili (Chili, New York) is raising money to purchase a "SPOT" camera. The "SPOT" camera is a highly specialized camera that detects potential problem areas in the eyes of a young (preschool) child. During the screeing of young children at local daycare centers, if a possible eye problem is detected, the parents are given a referral and encouraged to have a follow up check up with their family doctor. Presently, there is only one (1) "SPOT" camera for a very large area around the Chili community and the camera is shared with other areas, near and far. The Lions See Program has become so successful due to strictly word of mouth, the anticipated future demand will be more than one camera can handle. Of 41 children checked during the first screening, 4 children were found to need a referral for a further check up by their family doctor. Unfortunately, that is 10% of our first screening. Clearly, there is a need to check the eyes of our young children as early as possible. The purchase of this "SPOT" camera will allow the Lions Club of Chili the opportunity to offer screenings at many more locations and help many more young children. The Lions Club of Chili is also excited about being able to share our "SPOT" camera with other local communities and Lions Clubs to help serve the children of their areas. All donations will be handled by the Lions Club of Chili President, Mrs. Bonnie Platt. Thank you for your donation. Sincerely, The Lions Club of Chili
