Free Vision Screening for School-Age Children
Monday, May 14, 2012 3:00pm to 6:00pm
Undetected vision problems put limits on the lives of tens of millions of both young people and adults. If your child, or a child you know, is having problems at school, or if they have any of the problems on this checklist, our screening* will detect whether vision may be part of the problem.
Please Take Advantage of Our Vision Screening Testing includes much more than just clarity of sight. We will also test eye movement, focusing, how well the eyes work and move together, and the effectiveness of other critical visual skills that may limit performance.
Could it really be a vision problem? Take this test. If the person you're concerned about answers yes to more than one or two of these questions, a vision problem is likely to be present.
