Summary of the Georgia State Guidelines
1. Required Screenings
- Visual Acuity: Assesses how well a child can see at a distance.
- Depth Perception (Stereopsis): Measures the ability to perceive three-dimensional vision.
- Color Vision: Screens for color vision deficiency.
- GLD-Vision provides all three screenings in a single 2.5-minute session.
2. Screening Referral Criteria (Criteria for Passing Vision Test)
- Referral decisions are based on:
- Age-appropriate thresholds for visual acuity, depth perception, and color vision.
- Automatic chart selection and adjustment in GLD-Vision, ensuring appropriate screening criteria for each child.
- Traditional methods require specific pass lines (e.g., 20/40 or 20/32 depending on age) for visual acuity.
3. Children Who Should Bypass Screening
- Specific criteria for bypassing screening are not directly mentioned in the provided document.
- Typically, children with:
- Diagnosed vision impairments already under professional care.
- Corrective eyewear (glasses/contacts), depending on state regulations or screening guidelines.
4. Required Tools OR Important Changes to Tools Used/Discontinued
GLD-Vision Tools:
- Digital, web-based, interactive screening software.
- No physical charts or manual tools needed.
- Automatically adjusts charts and ensures proper visual testing criteria.
- Requires only a computer or tablet with web browser access.
- HIPAA and FERPA-compliant for secure result handling.
Traditional Tools:
- Visual acuity charts like LEA SYMBOLS®, HOTV, and Sloan Letters (age-dependent).
- Occluders, measuring cords, and charts for depth and color testing (e.g., Ishihara plates for color vision).
5. Key Changes with GLD-Vision
- Transition from manual tools and processes to digital, automated vision screening.
- Instant results: No need for manual data entry or verification.
- Non-certified personnel can perform screenings, reducing the need for specialized training.
- Enhanced efficiency: Screening is completed in 2.5 minutes per child compared to traditional methods.
