Show Elementary PTA Sponsors Amblyopia Clinic .. The South Elementary PTA will sponsor an "Amblyopia Clinic" at the South Elementary Elemen-tary School, March 1st beginning begin-ning at 9:00 a.m. and continuing contin-uing throughout the day, till 4:00 p.m. All kindergarten children will be tested and parents of all pre -school youngsters in town are encouraged to bring their children to this clinic so they may be aware of any vision defects and have the defect corrected before the child starts school. Object of the free screening is to detect vision defects in Children as early as possible. So remember! Time is the important im-portant factor. A child's sharp central vision is developed by the time he is 6Y2 to 7 years of age. Best corrective results are obtained for the child with defective vision while his eyes are still developing this central cen-tral vision. Pre-school screening screen-ing of children 3 to 5 years of age will help detect many young children when professional profes-sional treatment is more beneficial ben-eficial according to those in charge. |
