Vision Screening
Did you know that only kinder, 1st Grade, 3rd Grade and 5th Graders are
screened for their vision by AISD. We are offering Free Vision
Screening for everyone young or adult on Wednesdays. You can make an
appointment or you can walk in for your Screening.
If a child passes a
Vision Screening at school but still complains of head ache and vision
changes, he or she can be re-screened for free at our office for Hyperopia or Farsightedness. Hyperopia is the most common eye condition
among children that can go undetected even during a School Vision
Screening. These Children usually complain of afternoon headaches as
well as lack of concentration during reading activities. They often
take their eyes off their reading material to take a break. Some also
complain of fluctuation of vision during near task activities, such as
homework, computers, games...etc. Others will also complain of blurry
distant vision after long term reading, in other words, a delay in the
focusing ability of the eye once the eye is under the stress of a near
task activity.
