title: An audit of preschool vision screening.
abstract: An audit was carried out to clarify the dispute surrounding the vision screening test at 3.5 years. The uptake was 53.5%, sensitivity 77%, specificity 96%, and positive predictive value 50%. In particular the uptake was poor and the test needed a clear policy for the future.
