Ivan Joseph, a student at Southern Ute Montessori Indian Academy, is screened last month by Ken Gaherty of the Bayfield Lions Club. Fifty-six students were screened. An additional 106 students were tested at Southern Ute Head Start & Early Head Start.
The Bayfield Lions Club is conducting its annual Kidsight eye tests.
The screenings detect vision problems in children which can be treated if diagnosed early.
The screener is a Plusoptix, which was obtained by the Durango Lions Club through a grant from La Plata Electric Association Roundup Funds and is shared with the Bayfield Lions Club.
Bayfield Lions have the screener through early December.
Any preschool or daycare wishing to host a free screening can call Sue Ann Gaherty at 884-2054 for an appointment.
