Viewers test their views.

Good eyesight is important, so KOLN -TV /KGIN-TV in Lincoln and Grand Island gave viewers the opportunity to check theirs in the privacy of their own homes. The "TV Eye Test" was aired as part of the stations' weekly public affairs program, "etc." The test, developed especially for television by doctors and supported by the National Society to Prevent Blindness, was designed to make viewers aware of possible eye problems. After the program, there were numerous calls from viewers who requested a list of the optometrists in their area. Encouraging viewers to take special care of themselves is all a part of the Fetzer tradition of total community involvement.
