Identifying Vision Problems in Young Children Many countries have local and national vision screening programmes for pre-school children around the age of 4. The aim of vision screening is to identify amblyopia (lazy eye) and vision loss. Identifying vision problems as early possible is important because undetected vision problems can reduce school achievement, harm the development of hand-eye coordination and lead to a lifelong reduction in vision. The recommended gold standard measurement for vision screening in most countries is visual acuity. However, many existing screening tools are letter and picture chart based visual acuity tests. These tests are subjective and require the child to give a verbal response, which in this age group is often difficult and leads to unreliable results. Other objective and easier to use tests only measure risk factors of amblyopia, not amblyopia or vision loss directly. To overcome these problems, Objective Acuity is developing the first objective visual acuity screening test for pre-school children. Our mission is to identify vision problems earlier and better than existing screening tools today.​
