Free vision screenings: Baker County Library District and partner organizations See to Read, Elks Club and Lions Club have their sights set on improving the eyesight and success of Baker County children. Free vision screenings for children ages 3-7 will be offered on Wednesday, October 22 from 10:30 am to noon at the library, 2400 Resort St. in Baker City. No pre-registration is necessary. At least 15 percent of all preschoolers have an undetected vision problem that needs to be treated with glasses. unknown vision impairments have unnecessary negative effects on development as a child learns to read and write in school. The screening technology used at all See to Read events is photo screening, which just takes a picture of the childs pupils and processes the information automatically. Because of efficiency, children as young as 3 years old are encouraged to have a vision screening. Early detection increases the chance for successful treatment.
