RIDGEFIELD — The Salmon Creek and Ridgefield Lions clubs recently helped with a vision screening of seventh-graders at View Ridge Middle School. Helping people check visual impairment at a young age is part of the group’s mission. Lions volunteers, who are trained to use specialized cameras to screen for eye issues, checked each students’ vision within a few minutes to find out whether a student’s eyes are fine or if they need a referral to an optometrist.
