Free Diabetic Retinopathy Screenings on Crest Hill Lions Club Bus

10:00 AM - 2:00 PM

Event Details

The Lions Club Diabetic Retinopathy Screening Bus will be in the parking lot to screen people who are in high-risk categories for Diabetic Retinopathy. These high risk categories include people with Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes. Screenings are free and made possible through the use of a mobile unit which travels throughout Illinois. The mobile unit carries a non-mydriatic camera with digital imaging capability which photographs the retina. These digital images (computer photos) of the retina are reviewed by professional staff at Illinois Retina Associates. Those found to exhibit symptoms of these retinal diseases after screening are encouraged to seek the ophthalmologic assistance of their choice.
