Feedback on prekindergarteners failing vision screenings.
This study is a sequel to an earlier report on a random vision screening of 651 prekindergarteners and compares the findings of the 35 children who failed this screening with the results and dispositions after retesting. Of the number failed, 32 (91.4%) were accounted for, of whom 28 (80%) were retested and 14 (40%) received no treatment; the other 4 (11.4%) were not retested. A discourse on probable discrepancies between screening and retesting results follows, along with corrective recommendations.
