Vaughan, Joannah; Dale, Talitha; Herrera, Daniel – Journal of School Nursing, 2022
The goal of this study is to assess the referral rate accuracy of photoscreening versus the chart methodology in identifying preschool children at risk of amblyopia and amblyogenic refractive error. Vision screenings using the plusoptiX S12 and the LEA chart were performed on 127 children, aged 3-5 years old. Comprehensive eye exams were performed…

Fuchs, Kirsty; van der Linde, Jeannie; Eccles, Renata; Swanepoel, De Wet; Graham, Marien Alet; du Toit, Maria – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Children in low-income communities are at risk for developmental delays and sensory losses. mHealth screening tools enable community health workers to detect developmental delays and sensory losses. This study aims to describe a combined (developmental and sensory -- hearing and vision) mHealth-supported screening programme conducted by community…

Manus, Michelle; van der Linde, Jeannie; Kuper, Hannah; Olinger, Renate; Swanepoel, De Wet – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Introduction: Globally, more than 50 million children have hearing or vision loss. Most of these sensory losses are identified late due to a lack of systematic screening, making treatment and rehabilitation less effective. Mobile health (mHealth), which is the use of smartphones or wireless devices in health care, can improve access to screening…

Glewwe, Paul; West, Kristine L.; Lee, Jongwook – Journal of Policy Analysis and Management, 2018
More than 20 percent of all school-aged children in the United States have vision problems, and low-income and minority children are disproportionately likely to have unmet vision care needs. Vision screening is common in U.S. schools, but it remains an open question whether screening alone is sufficient to improve student outcomes. We implemented…

Chu, Raymond; Huang, Kristine; Barnhardt, Carmen; Chen, Angela – Journal of School Nursing, 2015
Vision screenings are intended to efficiently identify students with possible visual impairment and initiate a referral for diagnosis and treatment. In many cases, at-risk students do not access the recommended care or experience delays in receiving care. The purpose of this article is to report the effect on adherence to vision screening…

Kemper, Alex R.; Helfrich, Anya; Talbot, Jennifer; Patel, Nita – Journal of School Nursing, 2012
School nurses can play a key role in the detection of significant refractive error. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of a statewide school nurse vision screening program by evaluating the outcomes of screening among first, third, and fifth graders in 10 schools in North Carolina during the 2009-2010 school year. Of the 2,726…

Wilhelmsen, Gunvor B – Improving Schools, 2016
Although good visual capacity is essential for children's learning, we have limited understanding of the various visual functions among school starters. In order to extend this knowledge, a small-scale study was undertaken involving 24 preschool children age 5-6 years who completed a test battery originally designed for visual impairment…

Heyl, Vera; Hintermair, Manfred – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2015
Introduction: In this study, executive function of school-aged children with visual impairments (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) is examined in the context of behavioral problems and communicative competence. Methods: Teachers assessed the executive function of a sample of 226 visually impaired students from mainstream schools and…

Strong, J. Graham; Jutai, Jeffrey W.; Russell-Minda, Elizabeth; Evans, Mal – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2008
The authors conducted a systematic review to examine whether vision-related assessments can predict the driving performance of individuals who have low vision. The results indicate that measures of visual field, contrast sensitivity, cognitive and attention-based tests, and driver screening tools have variable utility for predicting real-world…

Orfield, Antonia – Principal Leadership, 2008
Vision is the dominant sense, and the eyes are connected with almost every other part of the brain. If the vision system is poorly developed, children trying to learn suffer. Without good up close vision, students are handicapped even if no one knows or suspects it--they may not even know it themselves. Students do not know that the way they see…
