Vision problems affect 1 in 20 preschoolers, however children do
not realize when they are not seeing properly. The Affiliates
provide vision screenings at various community locations to
identify young children who have refractive errors or eye
muscle problems. Easy detection of these conditions can avoid
countless school-age problems.
An Eye Opening Experience for Brian and Brittany is a delightful children’s book that follows two children during a vision screening conducted at their preschool by volunteers from an eye institute. The vision screening detected a possible vision problem in Brian, and he was referred for a complete eye examination. During Brian’s routine eye examination, the eye doctor determined that Brian is nearsighted. Brittany helped Brian select cool frames for his new glasses. When Brian wears his eye glasses he can see objects clearly. He is glad the vision screeners visited his preschool.
A complimentary copy of An Eye Opening Experience for Brian and Brittany is sent to each preschool who schedules a Preschool Vision Screening. The book is read to the students prior to the screening date to prepare the students for the activity. A complimentary copy of the book is also sent to children who participate in the vision screening and are referred for a complete eye examination by an eye professional.
