The initiative targeted the well-being of students, educators, and school staff by providing professional vision assessments and eye care awareness—all at no cost.
Running from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, the camp attracted widespread participation, reflecting both the importance of vision care and the trust placed in the Lions Club’s health-focused endeavors.

The large turnout underscored the community’s awareness of eye health and its willingness to take proactive steps toward safeguarding vision.
