Vision Screening for Year Seven

Vision screening for Year Seven students is coming up soon. Here is some information about this process.

YEAR SEVEN VISION SCREENING

The Vision Hearing Technicians from Public Health South will be visiting our school to screen all year seven students for distance vision and colour vision (boys only).

• Distance Vision (Amblyopia & Hyperopia)

This determines how well your child is able to see at a distance. It involves reading an eye chart. (Not required if child wears glasses)

• Colour Vision (Boys only)

This is to detect children with the most common inherited colour vision defects. (Using the Ishihara colour vision book). (Still available to those wearing glasses).

If you do not wish your child to be screened please fill out an opt-out slip, which are available at the school office before our visit.
