Eligibility Criteria | Action |
---|---|
Presenting vision 20/40 or worse in better eye | Prescribed spectacles if required through ChildSight (Helen Keller International, New York, NY) |
Minimum uncorrected spherical refractive error of ±1 diopter | |
Best corrected distance acuity < 20/25* | Referred for further ophthalmologic evaluation |
Cylinder power ≥2 D* | |
Anisometropia (for myopia, sphere difference ≥2 D, for hyperopia, sphere difference ≥1 D* | |

D = diopters.
Exclusion criteria were based on the protocol of the Childsight screening program where refractive services for complicated cases were not provided directly at schools.
