Abstract
Uncorrected refractive error can lead to lowered academic performance. Many children depend on state-mandated school vision screening programs. Effective screening programs require follow-up with eye care providers, but studies demonstrate poor follow-up rates after failed screenings. Programs have attempted to mediate this issue by providing free examinations and glasses after failed screenings. This study presents data from a mobile clinic program that provides instrument-based vision screening, eye examinations, and free glasses directly to children at school.
