Summary of the Delaware State Guidelines
1. Required Screenings
- Visual Acuity Screening: Measures clarity of vision to detect issues like myopia and hyperopia.
- Depth Perception (Stereopsis) Screening: Ensures children’s ability to perceive depth.
- Color Vision Screening: Identifies deficiencies in color perception.
- GLD-Vision provides an interactive screening process that is medically validated and aligns with AAPOS recommendations.
2. Screening Referral Criteria (Criteria for Passing Vision Test)
- Automatic Criteria Adjustment: GLD-Vision adjusts charts and referral criteria based on child’s age and screening protocol.
- Eliminates manual selection of charts or criteria by personnel.
- Results are automatically collected and securely stored.
- Immediate Feedback: Results are instantly available online for review by schools and parents.
3. Children Who Should Bypass Screening
- The document does not explicitly state criteria for bypassing screenings, but common practice includes children who:
- Have existing diagnosed vision conditions or prescriptions.
- Are currently under the care of an eye care professional.
- Have recently completed a comprehensive eye exam.
4. Required Tools OR Important Changes to Tools Used/Discontinued
GLD-Vision Software:
- Medically validated, web-based platform.
- Screens visual acuity, depth perception, and color vision through an interactive matching exercise.
- Requires only a device screen (computer, tablet, etc.) and internet access.
- No specialized training or physical tools like wall charts required.
Traditional Tools Replaced:
