Free Vision Screenings from Illinois Eye Center

Thursday, February 27 - 10:00 am to noon - Germantown Hills

Illinois Eye Center staff is offering FREE visual acuity screenings to determine how well an individual can clearly see at a given distance.  Screenings are performed on a machine similar to those at the DMV.  If you normally wear glasses or contacts, please bring them.  The screening will help determine how well your current prescription is working.

Younger children and teens must have a parent or guardian present to consent to screening.  Younger children must know their letters and be able to distinguish between each one for accurate screening results.

Our first session will be on Thursday, February 27, from 10:00 am - 12:00 pm at the Germantown Hills branch.  Additional screenings will be held throughout the year.  Registration is not required, but anyone registering in advance will get an email reminder for the event.
