Vision Screening Programs

Vision screening programs are organized efforts to identify visual problems early, especially in children and vulnerable populations. These programs quickly assess visual acuity and eye health to catch issues like nearsightedness, farsightedness, or lazy eyes before they interfere with learning or daily activities. By detecting problems early, individuals can receive timely evaluation and treatment from eye care professionals, helping to prevent long-term vision impairment. These screenings are often conducted in schools, clinics, or community settings and serve as a proactive step in maintaining good eye health across populations.
