Five-year-old Rebecca Zeien has worn glasses for about a year now.

But her mother wouldn’t have known her little girl needed glasses if she hadn’t signed up for a free vision screening provided by the Newton Lions Club.

“I signed her up here (at KinderCare) to get her eyes checked at the last minute by the Lions Club,” Samantha Zeien said. “When the pictures came back they showed an irregularity. So I took her and had her eyes checked, and now she wears glasses. If it wouldn’t have been for them, I would have waited until she went to school before I checked her. It’s amazing. She has a stigmatism, which is what the picture picked up.”
