Screening Calendar
We are targeting preventable blindness in children between the ages of one through four years. During our first three years of operation (2009, 2010, & 2011) we were able to screen nearly 3000 children and identify 480 children that needed to be referred to a pediatric vision specialist. Twenty of the Four Hundred - Eighty were detected by our professional ROATx Certified Screeners even though the PediaVision computerized equipment they were using did not detect a problem. During 2010 and 2011, we have detected over 40 children who needed a referal to a Pediatric Ophthalmologist for serious eye health conditions or to an Optometrists who specializes in children eye exams.
All Scheduled Screenings are for Saturdays from 10 AM – Noon unless posted otherwise. The morning hours before noon works best with the age of the children we are screening because they tend to be hungry and tired later in the day. The ROATx Certified Screeners will stay as long as there are children to screen.
