vision screening

The Canton Lions Club uses the PlusOptix vision screener as a key part of its community service efforts to protect and support children’s eye health throughout Cherokee County, Georgia. Trained Lions Club volunteers visit local pre-K programs, elementary schools, and community events to provide quick and non-invasive vision screenings for young children. Using the PlusOptix device, they can screen a child’s eyes in just a few seconds without physical contact, making the process comfortable, safe, and stress-free for even the youngest students.

The PlusOptix screener allows volunteers to detect potential vision issues such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, and eye alignment concerns at an early stage. Because early detection is critical to preventing long-term vision problems and supporting academic success, the Canton Lions Club’s program helps ensure that children who may otherwise go undiagnosed are identified and referred for a full professional eye exam. The accuracy and efficiency of the device make it ideal for screening large groups of students in a short amount of time.

By partnering with schools, parents, and local health providers, the Canton Lions Club has made these screenings an accessible and valued resource within Cherokee County. The program not only raises awareness about children’s vision health but also reinforces the Lions Club’s longstanding mission of supporting sight. Through their dedication and use of advanced tools like the PlusOptix vision screener, the Canton Lions Club plays an important role in helping children start school with the clear vision they need to learn and thrive.
