Summary of the Indiana State Guidelines
1. Required Screenings
- Vision screening assesses visual acuity, depth perception, and color vision.
- Designed specifically for school environments.
- Conducted through a 2.5-minute interactive matching exercise using a digital platform.
- Matches AAPOS national recommendations for children's vision screening in Indiana.
2. Screening Referral Criteria (Criteria for Passing Vision Test)
- Vision issues identified include:
- Visual acuity deficiencies
- Depth perception abnormalities
- Color vision deficiencies
- Results are automatically analyzed and securely stored, reducing human interpretation errors.
- Referral occurs when results fail to meet standard visual acuity thresholds or identify a vision issue.
3. Children Who Should Bypass Screening
The document does not explicitly state bypass criteria; however:
- Children already under care of an ophthalmologist or optometrist may bypass screening.
- Those with documented vision impairments or previous screenings might also be excluded, depending on school policy.
