Free screenings, though not a substitute for a complete vision exam, do
provide important information about eye health and clarity of vision.
Screenings take about 20 minutes to complete and do not cause discomfort.
Vision screenings are especially important in detecting and preventing vision
disorders in children age 5 through 10 -- the years when learning skills such
as reading and writing are formed.
The Cascade Campus Family Vision Center also provides complete vision
examinations, specialty care, and patient dispensary. Patients pay for
services based on family and individual income.
