Cities will help the group get a new digital eye exam machine this fall <\/p>\n

(Moline, IL)\u00a0 The Early Childhood Coalition (ECC) has been coordinating efforts to offer monthly free Early Learning Screenings for children 4 months to age five at various locations throughout Rock Island County for years.\u00a0 The group also has spent a decade offering vision, hearing and overall developmental screenings.\u00a0 Now it wants to make the screenings more effective and quicker.\u00a0 This can be done with a new digital vision camera called the \u201cSpot\u201d, manufactured by Pediavision.\u00a0<\/p>

The Secretary of the ECC, Lisa Viaene, says the current camera the group is using, the \u2018Photo Screener\u2019 is becoming obsolete and the film is no longer being produced.\u00a0 Viaene says the new camera will cost almost eight thousand dollars and she is reaching out to the community for assistance in securing the funds.\u00a0\u00a0 Since the group began their monthly screenings in September of 2002 more than 2,200 children have been screened.\u00a0 Viaene says with the new camera thousands more children will be served.\u00a0 She says when vision problems are found early children will be more successful throughout their lives.\u00a0<\/p>\n
