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.

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

GLD-Vision® Tools:

    • Wall charts (Snellen, Sloan, LEA, HOTV)
    • Manual data entry
  • Does not require specialized training or installation.

Key Features:

  • Automatic selection of charts for age-appropriate screening
  • Results stored in HIPAA/FERPA-compliant databases
