Vision screening using evidence-based tools and procedures is an efficient and timely way to identify children with possible vision impairments; educate parents and caregivers about the importance of vision screening and their role in arranging and attending eye examinations for their children; refer identified children to eye care professionals for comprehensive, confirmatory eye examinations, diagnosis, initial treatment, and ongoing follow-up care; and help parents and caregivers to understand the importance of following the eye care professionals’ treatment plans.
