Our Wixom-Walled Lake Lions Club has a special MTI Photoscreener camera capable of pinpointing six different eye defects. Children who fail the vision screening tests will be referred to a doctor. The goal is to catch eyesight disorders before children start falling behind in school. |
| Why Vision Screening? |
| 62 percent of children up to age 7 do not have eye exams |
| 11.5 percent of students have undiagnosed or untreated vision problems |
| Amblyopia is the leading cause of monocular vision in the U.S. |
| Amblyopia (lazy eye) is preventable and is more easily treated if detected early |
