Show Lions Lazy Eye Clinic Set Sttfurday, Apr. 28 The annual Amblyopia Clinic for pre-school children ages 4 and 5 has been scheduled at The Lion's Club Center, 600 East Center, Pleasant Grove on April 28, 1977 at 9:00 - 11:00 a.m. This "no charge'' screening program has been set up under un-der the auspices of the Utah County Medical Auxiliary, PTA, school nurses, and state and local education personnel. Amblyopia is commonly known as lazy eye blindness, and is the lack of central vision in one eye. Central vision develops gradually through the first six years of life and amblyopia is gradual in onset and readily corrected if discovered early. Marilyn Chapman of the Utah County Medical Auxiliary emphasizes how important this "preventive medicine" is. Last year in Utah County 1,725 children were examined, 36 children were referred to eye physicians. |
