SUMMARY:Free Vision Screening (From Ages 6 Months to 6 Years)
DESCRIPTION:V.O.I.C.E.S\nSaving Kids Sight\nVision Screening \nThe Beverly Arts Center is hosting a free preschool vision screening sponsored by the Beverly Ridge Lions Club.  \nNovember 15th & 22nd\, 11am-2pm \nWHY is vision screening important?\nThe first few years of a child’s life are critical in the development of good vision. Children should have\ntheir vision checked for issues such as misaligned eyes\, and problems that need correction with\neyeglasses. These problems are not always evident by simply looking at a child. Young children often\ncompensate for vision problems so well that parents\, teachers\, and pediatricians are unaware of a\nproblem. Many common vision robbing conditions such as “lazy eye” can be effectively treated if\ndetected in a child’s formative years. \nSaving Kids Sight\, a VOICES community service program provides a simple\, noninvasive and cost- free vision screening test performed on young children. It requires no medication or preparation and is PAINLESS. It is as simple as taking a picture. It does require parental permission. \nSaving Kids Sight screens for the following: \nHyperopia – “Far-sightedness” is the difficulty seeing objects that are near. Untreated this can\ncontribute to “crossing of the eyes” but can be corrected with glasses. \nMyopia – “Near-sightedness” is when the eyes focus incorrectly\, making distant objects appear\nblurred. It can be treated with glasses. \nAstigmatism- A condition in which the cornea has an abnormal curve causing out-of-focus vision. \nAnisometropia – This condition can adversely affect the development of binocular vision in infants\nand children. The brain will often suppress the vision of the blurrier eye in a condition called Amblyopia or “lazy eye.” \nStrabismus – Eyes are not directed to an object simultaneously. Sometimes the eyes deviate outward\nand sometimes inward. \nThe screening is ideal for children 6 months-6 years old\, but can be performed on older children. Results are immediately available. \n**Parental Permission is required. \nForms will be available at the event or at the front desk of the Beverly Arts Center.
