In January, we will begin vision screening for all children. Vision screening is important at this age because:
- Identifies children who may be at high risk for eye disease or in need of a professional eye examination
- Helps detect the possible presence of disorders at an early stage when treatment is more likely to be effective
- Provides valuable information and education about eye health
- Results in a referral to an eye care professional or primary care provider when screening tests indicate a need for diagnosis and treatment
You will receive more information in January prior to your child being screened. Be on the lookout!
