Summary of the Iowa State Guidelines
1. Required Screenings
Visual Acuity Screening:
- Required for children of all ages in alignment with national recommendations in Iowa.
- GLD-Vision® assesses visual acuity during a 2.5-minute interactive matching exercise.
Depth Perception Screening (Stereopsis):
- Included with GLD-Vision® but not in traditional screenings.
Color Vision Screening:
- GLD-Vision® includes this test, whereas traditional vision screening does not.
2. Screening Referral Criteria (Criteria for Passing Vision Test)
- Referral criteria for passing visual acuity tests are not explicitly listed in this document but align with national guidelines as defined by AAPOS.
- GLD-Vision® follows medically validated methods to ensure accurate screening results.
- Referral is based on outcomes for:
- Visual Acuity (pass/fail based on ability to meet screening line)
- Depth Perception
- Color Vision Deficiency
3. Children Who Should Bypass Screening
- The document does not explicitly specify children who should bypass screening. However, typically:
- Children with existing vision impairments or glasses/contacts may bypass specific portions of the screening.
- Children under active eye care treatment may also bypass screening depending on program guidelines.
4. Required Tools OR Important Changes to Tools Used/Discontinued
GLD-Vision® is the primary tool recommended:
- Web-based system: Accessible via any browser without installation.
- No specialized training: Non-certified personnel can conduct screenings.
- Automatic Chart Selection: Reduces human error.
- HIPAA & FERPA Compliance: Ensures secure and compliant data handling.
Tools/Approaches Discontinued:
- Traditional wall charts and manual processes (e.g., data entry, printed forms) are not required when using GLD-Vision®.
- GLD-Vision® eliminates the need for trained professionals to administer screenings, streamlining efficiency.
