Prevent Blindness Georgia provides free vision screenings to prekindergarten children at public and private schools and childcare
facilities throughout Georgia. Certified staff and volunteers conduct a three-part screening with each child.
If you would like to schedule free vision screening for prekindergarten children (four-year-old class or lottery-funded pre-k class),
please contact Laurie Irby at 404.266.1548. Materials will then be mailed to you.
If you are scheduled for a screening and need an emergency permission form, please call 404.266.1548 to confirm your screening,
then print the appropriate permission letter found here.
