Vision issues have significant impacts on quality of life, including children’s success in school and injury risks for all ages. Local Lions Clubs will provide free vision screening events in September as part Cobb County Public Libraries’ Falls Prevention Awareness initiative. The events are open to adults and children from six months of age and older and walk-ins are encouraged. Volunteers will use screening devices to detect possible vision issues that require follow-up professional care.
