Teleocular Screening of Second Graders to Detect of Vision Problems

Vision problems affect 5% of preschoolers and 25% of all school age children. Fewer than 20% of children are adequately screened for vision problems in the U.S. today. The most common causes of visual impairment in children are refractive error, amblyopia, strabismus, and astigmatism. Amblyopia is present in 1 percent to 4 percent of preschool children; an estimated 5 percent to 7 percent of preschool children have refractive errors. Unless successfully treated in early childhood, amblyopia causes permanent visual loss. Remote screening can play an important role in identifying these cases.
