EYES!!!

Question for you all!!! What do you all use to screen for vision issues in the school. We currently use just the good old light box. E charts and such. Pre-K and K screenings we pull out the little more in depth items.

I was in the works with a nearby district in purchasing one of those really pricey machines that they look into and it tells you almost everything. That fell through right at the end.

So what other options are out there. I would love to move up to a machine of some sort but have no clue what is the best. Any help would be great!!!!!

...sorry

It's ok. I've actually only used it on a handful of kiddos. Like 10 so luckily I found out sooner rather than later!

I only got a chart. That's it. :/

Doesn't break down, though...

Does anyone know how I can make it easier for my smaller friends to do the HOTV chart? I got one, and it comes with flash cards and one big card with the letters. I did it on two right now, and I just asked them to either point for me on the big one or say it out loud.

When I was in school, it was the old fashion light box.
