Are you tired of watching a friend rapidly move their phone to multiple distances toward and away from their face while trying to focus on the screen?

First of all, your friend is living cartoon, and secondly, that’s OK because there will be free vision screenings at Cobb County libraries throughout September.

It’s for seniors, children from six months of age or anyone in between. Walk-ins are encouraged.

If it ends up you have trouble with the test, it’s time to get some professional help.
