Certified Vision Screener

Starts: March 1st, 2009

Groups can volunteer together at this opportunity.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old.

Description
Vision screening at schools, health fairs and other events helps identify individuals in our community (both children and adults) with potential vision impairments or eye diseases. Early detection and treatment can help keep them on the path to success and avoid unnecessary vision loss.
Notes / Special Requirements
Vision screeners must be trained and certified by PBI. Training dates are posted online or may be scheduled at your organization. Certification for children is 2 hours; adults in 1.5 hours.
