Summary of the Alaska State Guidelines

1. Required Screenings

  • Visual acuity screening
  • Depth perception (stereopsis) screening
  • Color vision deficiency screening
  • Comprehensive assessment of the visual system within a 2.5-minute interactive matching exercise

2. Screening Referral Criteria (Criteria for Passing Vision Test)

  • Referral criteria are aligned with the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS) recommendations.
  • GLD-Vision automatically evaluates test results without human interpretation errors, ensuring objective criteria for passing/failing.

3. Children Who Should Bypass Screening

While the document does not explicitly list children who should bypass screening, typically:

  • Children with documented comprehensive eye exams or corrective lenses (glasses/contacts) may bypass the screening, depending on district guidelines.

4. Required Tools OR Important Changes to Tools Used/Discontinued

GLD-Vision® is a digital, web-based tool that eliminates the need for traditional wall charts, occluders, and manual recording.

  • Key Features:

    • Medically validated and AAPOS-approved
    • No installation or specialized training required
    • Instant results in a HIPAA and FERPA-compliant system
    • Automated selection of charts and test adjustments
