Sullivan Lions Sponsor Free Eye Screening
•June 29, 2016•
Free eye screening for diabetic retinopathy is available on the Sullivan IGA parking lot 9 a.m. to noon Friday, July 1.
The Sullivan Lions Club sponsored screening is in conjunction with the Lions of Illinois Foundation and Illinois Retina Associates, S.C.
Diabetic retinopathy is the leading cause of new blindness in adults in the United States. Early detection is a major factor in the prevention of visual loss.
The screening may determine whether you have a retinal problem associated with macular degeneration.
Since early detection of such disorders is critical, persons with diabetes or those 55 or older are encouraged to take advantage of this free screening.
