Towcester Eye Health Event

 
 


 

Members of Towcester and District Branch of Lions Clubs International met members of the public on Saturday 16th June, carrying out part of the Lions Eye Health awareness programme at Waitrose store in Towcester. They were discussing answers to the question "My eyesight is fine, why do I need a sight test?" Displays were shown and leaflets distributed on sight-threatening eye conditions such as glaucoma, cataracts, diabetic eye disease, macular degeneration, etc. Quite a number of people said they welcomed the information, either for themselves or for other members of their families. It gave Lions a chance to say thank you to people for donations of used spectacles which are despatched to countries in the third world and to explain Lions International worldwide work in support of eyecare organisations.
