title: Vision screening of school age children in Missouri.
abstract: In this report, vision screenings conducted by schools in the state of Missouri are reviewed. Data were generated by the 127 participating schools in 38 school districts that responded to four research questions. In general, many inadequacies exist in schools regarding vision screening. Recommendations include greater participation in the public school arena by vision specialists and the development of consistent criteria for vision screening in school districts.
