Vision Screening: A Study of 297 Head Start Children.

Morse, A. R.; And Others

Journal of Visual Impairment and Blindness, v81 n5 p200-03 May 1987

Vision assessments were provided to 297 preschoolers in nine Head Start programs in New York State. The protocol used provided a thorough evaluation and required only seven minutes per child. Sixty-three children (21.2%) were referred for further evaluation. Visual deficits detected included decreased acuity, strabismus, astigmatism, and nonspecific visual problems. (Author/JW)
