Vision Screening
Vision screening is an important process used to detect vision-related health problems. The process includes a series of tests to determine the level of each eye's ability to see clearly. It may be done in a hospital, clinic, or school, or at home. It is an important tool in identifying eye diseases such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism, glaucoma, cataracts, color blindness, and macular degeneration early on, before they can cause more serious vision problems. By diagnosing these diseases at early stages, treatment can be provided that may prevent further deterioration of vision. Vision screening can also detect eye misalignment, strabismus, and refractive errors that can be corrected by glasses or contact lenses. Early detection and treatment of vision-related health problems can help to ensure that people of all ages can maintain good vision throughout their lives.
