Amblyopia can be defined as the deficient development of brain vision during the first decade of human life, and is the topic of some excellent recent reviews.1–3 It remains a common cause of vision impairment in developed countries despite the fact that it is completely preventable and treatable. In some small-scale regional efforts in developed countries, deliberate screening combined with co...

An audit was carried out to clarify the dispute surrounding the vision screening test at 3.5 years. The uptake was 53.5%, sensitivity 77%, specificity 96%, and positive predictive value 50%. In particular the uptake was poor and the test needed a clear policy for the future.

A Cochrane review of literature from 1966 to 2004 on screening for correctable visual acuity defects in school-aged children and adolescents found “no robust trials available that allow the benefits of school vision screening to be measured. The disadvantage of attending school with a visual acuity deficit also needs to be quantified. The impact of a screening program will depend on the geograp...

OBJECTIVES Visual disorders among preschool-aged children are common, yet screening is infrequent. The purpose of this project was to implement the vision screening recommendations proposed by the Maternal and Child Health Bureau and National Eye Institute Vision Screening in the Preschool Child Task Force: monocular visual acuity and stereopsis testing. METHODS Four sites fully participated ...
