Photo by DeWane A Simple Test Can Show Lazy Eye" In Children if An estimated 468,000 preschool children - nearly half a million throughout the United States - have eye disorders. Many of these defects are most effectively treated in the early years. One of the eye problems of greatest concern, amblyopia ("lazy eye"), may lead to permanent vision loss if not discovered and treated before age six. To help identify the one child in every 20 who has an eye problem, the National Society to Prevent Blindness (NSPB) offers the "Home Eye Test" for preschoolers. Beamed at the parents of the nearly 9.5 million children in the nation ages three through five, the "test" is a simple do-it- yourself way to check a child's sight at home. It is designed for children who haven't yet learned alphabet reuigiiillmr~an» presented as a game to play. The kit is self-contained, with an eye chart, directions for giving the test and in­ terpreting the results. Children usually don't complain about vision problems since they have no way of knowing how well they should see. The society warns that a lazy eye is usually not obvious through appearance or symptoms. The screening test in­ volves "reading" the chart with the letter E turned around in different direc­ tions. The child points in the direction he or she sees the "legs" of the E pointing. Each eye is tested separately, with the other eye covered. The size of the E's gets smaller and smaller, moving from the spurgeons We feature the LARGEST Selection of MATERNITY WEAR in McHenry County [ops •Slacks •Jeans -Dresses •Pantsuits •Nursing Gowns •Maternity Panties •Nursing Bras •Maternity Panty Hose McHonry Market Placi Shopping Center 385-4100 top row of the chart to the bottom. Conditions such as nearsightedness can also cause a child to fail the test. To children, it's the "Pointing E Game." To parents and teachers it's often the first indication of a vision problem, and a signal that the child should have an eye exam. Parents of children who fail the test are advised to obtain professional eye exams for their youngsters. Almost a million copies of the Home Eye Test have been distributed each year since its introduction in 1972, the society reports, dramatically increasing the number of children whose eyes are being checked in the crucial early years. With some three million more children reaching their third birthday every year, the need to find those with vision problems continues. The Home Eye Test for preschoolers is available in English or Spanish. For a free copy of the test or other information about children's eye care, wrjte to the National Society to Prevent blindness, 79 Madison avenue, New York, N.Y. 10016. The National society, established in 1908, is the oldest voluntary health agency nationally engaged in preventing blindness through community service programs, public a'nd professional education and research. Quiet, to quick bosoms, is a hell. ^ -Byron. Last Sunday morning about 65 parents of students in St. Patrick's Religious Education program were welcomed by Mrs. Davis, president of the Reglious Education board, and heard the director of the program, Mrs. Mary Marsh, outline the goals and dreams of the program for this year. As this was the year of the family, she, along with the priests, the board and faculty had agreed that the main thrust of the classroom experience would be to help the students understand their faith in such a way that they would make life within their families a supporting and happy experiences. She outlined ways the students would be shown that living the Good News of the Gospel in the way that Jesus told about would lead to a happy family life. She reminded the parents of the importance of prayer in family life and gave them ideas on how the teachers would be helping the students prayer life develop, hopeful that the parents would provide other ex­ periences. Another aspect of the year's program was the various family afternoons held about six times a year in which families were asked to participate in an af­ ternoon of fun, reflection, learning and prayer around a particular topic. The next such day is Nov. 1 entitled, "When the Saints go Mar­ ching in" with family competition, projects and prayer built around the Feast of All Saints. The parents association outlined plans for the Citrus Fruit sale that begins this week. They have a goal of *;000, the same amount they made last year. Anyone interested in this proj&t is asked to call 385-9631 for more information. The remainder of the time was spent answering questions, and getting to know new parents, while enjoying coffee and doughnuts. • • * • It will be rather diffi­ cult for anyone to cheat you if you refuse to try to get something for nothing. • e • • Now that school is open again, we expect the average level of intelli­ gence to take another jump.

Half this water can easily be saved through the use of an inexpensive water saving aerator. When water usage is cut, energy usage is trimmed back, too. ©Rr ROBERT- GIKK Podiatrist -- Foot Specialist •Orthopedics •Control Cart •Poof Surgery •Sptrt Medicine •Children's Fttf Problems McHenry Office 4305 W.
