A device that detects vision problems found a home at Sunflower Diversified Services’ Early Education Center (EEC) and it was used during a screening for the first time recently. The equipment, which was donated by area Lions Clubs, is called a Spot Pediavision Screener. It can quickly and accurately detect astigmatism, nearsightedness, farsightedness and differences between the two eyes.
