Eye Screenings for Kids

The Algonac Lions Club is stepping up children’s eye care with its own Plusoptix vision camera, ending years of borrowing equipment from other districts. The camera provides free, fast screenings for kids from 6 months to 18 years old, spotting vision issues early when they’re easiest to correct. Club member Suezette Stone led fundraising efforts, raising $5,500 to buy the device, and volunteers are trained to operate it. The Lions plan to expand the program with a mobile trailer, bringing eye screenings to schools, events, and neighborhoods across St. Clair County.
