Free vision screenings and eyeglasses for children and adults:
who may have barriers to accessing vision care.
The Lions Club is providing free vision screenings and a pair of glasses to children and adults who are in need. I know school has just started, but if you have a student who is struggling to see, having difficulty seeing the board, squinting frequently, or you have another concern about their vision, please let me know.
The Lions Club is also hoping to offer a similar opportunity to families throughout Johnston County in the coming months. This is a wonderful resource and a great opportunity for our families who may otherwise have difficulty accessing glasses.
Please reach out to Mr. Procaccini if you have a student or family who may benefit from this service.
