Over two thousand pounds has been raised for the Scannappeal charity by local printer company, Lexmark International.

The money raised will be used for the £150,000 ‘Eye Appeal’ which will equip two mobile eye scanning units to screen those at risk from going blind. 

“The money raised by Lexmark will be used to sponsor a specialist PC to view retinal images to help diagnose certain eye disease.  This will be in one of the vans which will go out into the community in Buckinghamshire as part of this new service.  We are very grateful for Lexmark’s support for this initiative and, as one our key sponsors, the company’s name will be displayed alongside other sponsors on the vans” said Amanda Martin, Director, Scannappeal.
