The proceeds of the event will go toward the purchase of a Welch Allyn SureSight Vision Screener. This machine is used to test school children at an early age. It has been recently used to test 840 Middletown Township Students free of charge. The machine was on loan to the Middletown Lions by the Leeds organization. The purchase of the machine will insure the use at the discretion of the Middletown Lions when needed. The cost of the machine is $5,000 and the event hopes to raise that amount.

Middletown Lions Club District Partnership Benefits Kindergartner and Pre-schoolers
Sight preservation and restoration has long been a major initiative of the Lions Club International. The Lions Foundation has procured expensive eye photo-screening automatic refractors and trained its volunteers in its simple operation. The automatic refractor, (the Suresight Vision Screener) which engages a young child’s eye focus through lights ands sounds, gives instant readings of the child’s eye checking for eye disorders including farsightedness, nearsightedness, astigmatism, amblyopia (lazy eye) and anisometropia (unequal refractive power.) The readings are then sent to the South Jersey Eye Center for evaluation. Parents will be notified by their school nurse should their child require additional medical follow-up.
Eileen Gavin comments on the program, “The generous volunteers of the Lions Club are providing a great service to our district. The vision camera enables us to properly screen very young children who may not be verbal or cooperative to alternate visual screening methods. Additionally, a state grant, which funded our cost for an eye doctor to help conduct the screenings, was eliminated this year. If not for the Lion’s Club’s help, we might not have been able to run this program.”Rich LaBarbera, who chairs the Middletown Lion’s vision screening program, notes that early vision screening is very important as several eye abnormalities can be totally corrected if found and addressed before the age of eight. The Middletown School District is very grateful to the Lion’s club of Middletown for this very valuable partnership.
