People who experience vision-threatening eye disease leading to blindness too often go undiagnosed. This is decidedly the case among seniors and the many millions living in poverty who cannot afford an eye doctor visit or surgery. At a California Lions Friends in Sight vision screening, it is the mission of our volunteer doctors to detect these cases and counsel people on seeking care.
Our free vision screenings ensure that everyone who attends is seen by a licensed optometrist or ophthalmologist. They are aided by volunteers like you, registering patients, preparing their exam forms, pre-testing their vision, and measuring intraocular pressure in the older patients.
