AP Vision Screenings: A Practical and Evidence-Based Approach

Course overview

We know that the gold standard assessment of vision is a comprehensive eye examination. However, there are barriers to receiving a comprehensive eye exam including cost, transportation, public awareness, and differing professional consensus. Therefore, important vision screenings are performed in schools, pediatrician offices, and health fairs. This course covers updated vision screening guidelines with an emphasis on the data surrounding modern screening technology. The course also covers best practices and lessons learned in developing screening and examination programs.
