The Reston and the Sterling Lions Clubs maintained a booth to provide
PediaVision screening of eyes of children, 6 months to 19 years old, at the
Healthy Kids Day on Saturday, April 26, held at the YMCA, 12196 Sunset Hills
Road in Reston. PediaVision is a non-invasive procedure that takes only a few
seconds to complete and detects the potential presence of problems such as
nearsightedness and eye misalignment. Results are provided to
parents to determine if follow-up vision care is needed. On Saturday, 40
children were screened. Results were provided to the parents of 8
children to determine if additional care is needed. Above, Reston
Lions Club President, Don Leas, is shown administering a test to a visitor
to the booth. For more information on PediaVision, visit
