Eye machine

Published

I was just wondering what eye machine you use for your kindergartners? I think i have the one Florence nightingale used herself its a Titmus model ov-7m the manual is from 1960's. I'm not even sure if this is appropriate to use now. This is my 2nd year as a school nurse and I really had no training on vision and hearing.

LEA for Kindergarten. And yes, you check for color perception (Ishihara books), muscle balance, etc.

Titmus only for older kids.

In Indiana you don't have to be certified to screen either. We check 1st grade for near/far/and depth perception. 3,5,8 get checked for near.

No certification here either . . . but we do have to take an audiometry class.
