A free diabetic retinopathy screening for persons with diabetes, or those at risk for diabetes, will be held on Wednesday, July 26 from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at Pearce The screening is coordinated by the Chillicothe Lion’s Club and the Lions of Illinois Foundation, and is made possible through generous donations.
The quality of life for people with diabetic retinopathy and other retinal disorders, such as macular degeneration, is dramatically impacted. Since early detection of such disorders is critical, persons with diabetes or those 55 or older are encouraged to take advantage of this free screening.
Persons wishing to join the Lions in their fight against the effects of vision and hearing loss should contact the Chillicothe Lion’s Club President Mike Mahoney at (309) 274-5451.
