Abstract
A LTHOUGH the, field clinic program of the State Services for Crippled Children (SSCC) at the University of Iowa is basically a diagnostic service for children under 21 years of age with specific health problems, some aspects of the program reflect efforts in casefinding and screening. Physicians with various specialties and other health professionals from the university provided diagnostic health services for 6,343 young people in 1968 in 76 mobile clinics. About half of the clinics were conducted for the general evaluation of children with a variety of health problems. Vision screening of preschool children was carried out in 60 of the clinics. Special field clinics also were operated for cardiac and ear, nose, and throat problems and for the followup of infants with low birth weight or other perinatal abnormalities. In addition to reporting the results of our preschool vision screening activities, we wish to review certain clinical measures concerning the, eye that can be included in the routine health supervision of infants and children to identify those in need of complete professional eye examination.
