Seaside Elks help out
with eye screening
The Daily Astorian
SEASIDE — On Oct.
16, Seaside Elk members
assisted with eye screening
of Seaside Head Start stu-
dents when 30 children ages
3 to 5 were screened for eye
problems. Any child show-
ing a need for more test-
ing was referred for further
screenings.
The Elks Children’s Eye
Clinic is the major char-
itable project of the Ore-
gon State Elks Association.
Thanks to grants from the
Oregon State Elks Associa-
tion, the Elks Children’s Eye
Clinic developed free vision
screenings for Head Start
programs and public librar-
ies across the state. Using
photo screening technology,
refraction, pupil sizes and
corneal reflexes are mea-
sured instantly.
For information about
other Elks community proj-
ects or membership, call
503-738-6651 or email sea-
