PlusOptix Eye Screening Update

Reprinted from Montana Lions Sight & Hearing Foundation (MLS&HF) Newsletter

Hello Fellow Lions – with the overwhelmingly proven success of the PlusOptix Vision Screening machines the MLS&HF decided to pre-purchase TWO machines to keep on hand for clubs looking to add a PlusOptix machine to their community.  If your club is interested in puchasing a machine please contact me at [email protected] or 406.253.1726 or 406.257.2258.  The cost is $7,235.00, included is the S-12 machine with printer and labels.  For $7,015.00 you can just purchase the S-12 machine.  The machines are available now to be shipped or possibly delivered in person, depending on location.  Keep in mind, I am willing to provide personal training at a specific location and time that works for the purchasing club, you will not have to fly blind using these machines.

Reminder: please send in your total screened and total referred, monthly.  With this information we are able to purchase more machines and provide up to date statistics on the amazing work the Montana Lions do in their communities helping to alleviate vision issues for the future leaders of tomorrow.

As of March 13, 2020; 26,993 children have been screened in the State of Montana for FY 20 with 2780 referred.
