The Rotary Club of Dénia has said that its “I Spy, What Do You See?” campaign, which is part of its Amblyopia Prevention Project, will continue. Amblyopia is a common eye ailment that is also known as “lazy eye.” The goal of the initiative is to find this danger early in five- and six-year-old pupils. If they don’t, they could lose their vision permanently.
The Dénia City Council’s Department of Education will start doing inspections at schools that ask for them. The organisers have given the Department a phone number so that schools that are interested can make appointments.
Finding it early and the risk in the future
The major goal of these exams is not to find out what’s wrong, but to wake families up. If there is a chance of amblyopia, the Rotary Club wants to let guardians know that their child has to see an eye doctor. Early identification is very important because a lifelong effect could make it impossible to get certain jobs in the future.
CEIP Montgó, Colegio Bambi, and Colegio de Jesús Pobre are the first schools to join the project. The first screening will be at Colegio Bambi on Friday, November 21st. After that, they will move on to the other schools. Families at these schools have previously been told about it and given permission to take part.
The Rotary Club wished to thank the Dénia City Council in public for its “continued collaboration” on this initiative and for the help it gave. They also wanted to thank the media for helping to spread the word about how important this reminder is.
