These will take place from February 19th to 22nd, with sessions running from 9am to 2pm on the scheduled days.

There will be free screenings for various eye conditions, including diabetes, glaucoma, cataracts, as well as children’s and senior vision screenings.

The schedule for the screenings is as follows:

• February 19th: Balmain Community Centre
