Mel Korum Family YMCA

Reminder: Free Children’s Vision Screening is TOMORROW!

The Greater Puyallup Lions Club will be at the Mel Korum YMCA tomorrow, Friday, September 11th, from 10:30 AM–7:00 PM providing free vision screenings for children.

Vision problems can be difficult for young children to recognize because they may not know they’re seeing the world differently. Early detection can help identify potential concerns and connect families with the appropriate vision care when needed.

Free screening. Early detection. A clearer view for your child.

Free Children’s Vision Screening

The Greater Puyallup Lions Club members will be conducting free vision screening on Friday, September 11th from 10:30AM to 7:00PM at the Mel Korum YMCA.

Often young children with vision problems do not know they are seeing the world differently than people with normal vision, which can lead to difficulty learning and participating in daily activities.

Vision screening is recommended annually for younger children because their eyes change rapidly, especially between the ages of 3 and 5. Early detection of some vision problems can be corrected with referral to a vision care specialist for follow-up.
