Vision Screenings
Did you know that 90% of what a child learns comes through the visual system? This means that the earlier an eye disorder is detected, the sooner the child can have their eye sight corrected. A child who does not see well will experience little success in school until the problem is addressed. Center for Vision Loss vision screenings for children take place at pre-schools, day care centers, kindergarten registrations and at all grade levels of school.
C. Well Bunny Goes to School is an educational program for little learners designed specifically to accompany vision screenings. Developed by Center for Vision Loss staff, this 20-minute interactive presentation begins with a reading of The Eye Book by Dr. Suess. The wonderful large brown rabbit that appears in the book becomes our C. Well Bunny, a friendly rabbit hand puppet who shares his six basic eye safety and eye care tips in an entertaining, easy-to-understand format. C. Well is the perfect character to make youngsters aware of the importance of their eyes and introduce vision screenings in a non-threatening way.
Adult screenings can be conducted at continuing care facilities or at community functions such as health fairs. Call 610.433.6018 in the Lehigh Valley or 570.992.7787 to discuss a vision screening program and/or bringing C. Well Bunny to your school or group.
