Mobile eye clinic coming to Autaugaville on July 10, 29
The Alabama Lions Sight mobile clinic will stop in Autaugaville on July 10 and July 29, bringing eye exams closer to residents who may put off care or travel out of town.
Autauga County’s calendar lists the Autaugaville Lions Club hosting the Alabama Lions Sight Mobile Eye Clinic on July 10 and again on July 29, and the entry was published July 1. For residents who would otherwise drive elsewhere for a screening, the dates put eye care within reach before a small vision problem turns into a bigger one.
Alabama Lions Sight says its mobile clinic rotates from site to site across rural Alabama and provides eye exams for people of all ages, with special attention to senior citizens. The staff listed by the organization includes Leigh Lee Jackson, Ryan Price, Camille Carroll and Trenton Sadler. That kind of service matters most for people who tend to delay care, including families with children, older adults and anyone already noticing blurred vision, trouble reading or other changes in sight.
The July calendar listing follows another county push for vision care in Autaugaville earlier this year. On March 17, Autauga County announced a free eye clinic for April 9 at the Extension Building in Autaugaville and invited residents of Autaugaville and surrounding communities to come for mobile vision care services for all ages. The repeated notices suggest a steady local need for screenings that do not require a long trip into a larger city.
Alabama Lions Sight says Autaugaville is one of its regular rural stops, alongside places such as Eclectic, Hayneville, Clanton, Marion, Uniontown, Selma, Pineapple, Yellow Bluff, Thomaston, York, Eutaw, Greensboro, Gordo, Carrollton and the Coosa Senior Center. The organization says its clinic outcomes began in mid-February 2016, and it says Alabama Lions Sight has helped more than 500,000 people throughout the state since 1944.
The group’s broader screening work also reaches very young children. Alabama Lions Sight and Alabama Lions Clubs partner with Lions Clubs International on Lions KidSight USA, a community eye screening program for children as young as six months old. In Autaugaville, the July 10 and July 29 visits give residents a local option for catching vision problems early, while keeping routine care closer to home.
