Lions Club International Vision Screening January 11th
Hello RKIMS Families,
Lions International will be offering RKIMS Students vision screening on January 11th .
They will be using a Plusoptix or Welch Allen Spot screening tool.
This non-invasive, passive device can help detect:
- Refractive error; a defective in the optics of the eye that results in lack of precise focus of light rays on the retina causing blurred vision
- Myopia (nearsightedness): object blurred at a distance
- Hyperopia (farsightedness): object blurred at close range
- Astigmatism: distorted vision
- Amplyopia: Vision in one of the eyes is reduced because the eye and the brain are not working together properly
- Strabismus: Eyes that are not straight, eye muscle are not working together
- Anisometropia: The condition in which the two eyes have an unequal refractive power. One eye may be myopic and the other hyperopic.
Students were sent home with an opt- out form for parents who don’t want their child vision screened.
