State Guidelines Map

Ensuring that all students undergo school vision screenings is crucial for them to achieve their best possible vision. This improvement in vision can lead to better academic performance, increased focus during lessons, greater participation in classroom activities, and enhanced self-confidence and overall well-being. The methods and frequency of these screenings, as well as the specific ages and grades targeted, vary significantly from state to state, with some states lacking formal vision screening guidelines altogether. Because state policies frequently change, it is important for school nurses to regularly consult their state's most recent legislative code to ensure compliance.
