Free senior screen offered Special report Glasgow Daily Times GLASGOW — Downing-McPeak Vision Centers is sponsoring a community-wide vision screening on the morning of Wednesday, April 22 in the Bowling Green, Glasgow and Franklin locations for those over age 55. The screening will detect cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic eye disease and other eye problems. It also includes a check of distant and near vision.
The doctors at Downing-McPeak Vision Centers are committed to educating the community on maintaining a lifetime of healthy vision. “It is especially important for seniors to take good care of their vision. If you or someone you know is suffering from visual problems, please get an appointment for our screening. It could mean the difference between regaining sight or losing it,” said Dr. Spencer Witcher, Downing-McPeak Vision Centers Ophthal-mologist. The screening is offered as a public service aimed to increase awareness of the importance of routine eye care in adults. Many eye diseases can be treated before permanent damage occurs. Since some conditions have no early warning signs, regular eye exams are the best prevention. While a vision screening is not an eye exam, it is an excellent tool in the early detection of potential problems. Should a vision problem be detected, patients will be referred to the eye care provider of their choice for a complete eye exam. To participate, schedule an appointment by calling Downing-McPeak Vision Centers at 1-800-422-7348 for Glasgow, (800) 362-2086 for Bowling Green or (270) 586-3937 for Franklin. The doctors at Downing-McPeak Vision Centers are dedicated to providing affordable, professional and quality eye care through education, screening and examination.
