Significance

Despite significant evidence supporting the utility of vision screening for identifying children who need further evaluation by an eye care professional, there is considerable variability in screening guidelines along with a lack of consensus for monitoring and reporting outcomes.

This article provides an update to the 2015 recommendations for vision
