The AAV-PSE visual screening detected a high number of children with untreated visual impairments, reinforcing the importance of this initiative by health units, especially in contexts of greater vulnerability.
Abstract Purpose: To determine the impact of a program that provides a comprehensive eye exam to children who failed a vision screening.
Method: Seven hundred seventeen students from the San Antonio Northside Independent School District (NISD) received a comprehensive eye examination. The records of these students wer...

PURPOSE
To determine how automated instrument-based screening with the Spot Vision Screener (SVS) (Welch Allyn, Inc/Baxter) compares with standard visual acuity testing in Belizean schoolchildren, and to compare refractive results of the SVS and QuickSee hand-held autorefractor (PlenOptika).
METHODS
During a school-b...
