• USPSTF recommendations for vision screening for children 6 months to 5 years of age
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



note that screening tests have reasonable accuracy in identifying strabismus, amblyopia,
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



and refractive errors in children 3 to 5 years of age.
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



• Refractive errors are the most common visual disorders seen in children
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



o Myopia, or nearsightedness, exists when the axial length of the eye is increased
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



in relation to the eye’s optical power. As a result, light from a distant object is
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



focused in gd gd



front of the retina rather than directly on it. A myopic child sees close objects clearly
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



but distant objects are blurry.
gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Myopia may be present at birth however more likely to develop between 6 and gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



9 years of age, with increased prevalence after the adolescent growth spurt.
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



Mild hyperopia is normal in a young child and should decrease rapidly
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



between 7 and 14 years of age. gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



o Hyperopia, or farsightedness, exists when the visual image is focused behind gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd


the retina. As a result, distant objects are seen clearly but close objects are
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd


blurry. gd



o Astigmatism exists when the curvature of the cornea or the lens is uneven; thus gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



the retina cannot appropriately focus light from an object regardless of the distance,
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



which makes vision blurry close up and far away. Rarely, astigmatism can be
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



caused by an alteration in the corneal sphere caused by a soft tissue mass on the
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



inner aspect of the eyelid, such as a chalazion or hemangioma.
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



o Anisometropia is a different refractive error in each eye. It may consist of gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd


any combination of refractive errors discussed earlier, or it may occur with
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd


aphakia. gd



• Amblyopia usually a unilateral deficit in which there is defective development of the
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



visual pathways needed to attain central vision
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



o Clear focused images fail to reach the brain, resulting in reduced or permanent loss
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd


of vision. gd gd



o The condition is labeled (or typed) according to the structural or refractive problem
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



that is causing the poor visual image to reach the brain: deprivational, or obstruction
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



of vision (e.g., caused by ptosis, cataract, nystagmus), strabismic (caused by
gd g d gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



strabismus or lazy eye), or refractive (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, anisometropia).
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



Diagnosis of amblyopia prevents permanent loss of vision in the affected eye.
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



o clinical findings: gd



▪ Squinting, tendency to cover or close one eye when concentrating gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Abnormal vision, cover/uncover, and/or fundoscopic exam gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Pain in or around eyes and/or headaches (rare) gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Fatigue, dizziness gd



▪ Developmental delay gd



▪ Family history of refractive errors, strabismus, or amblyopia gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



o Management:
▪ Refer to an ophthalmologist or optometrist for prescription corrective lenses.
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



School-age children and teenagers should participate in the selection of
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



frames; contact lenses may be considered.
gd gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Once a refractive error has been determined or if a child is wearing gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



glasses, annual evaluations are recommended.
gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Moderate amblyopia usually responds to 2 hours of daily patching or gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



weekend atropine (produces cycloplegia of nonamblyopic eye).
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



▪ Untreated or inadequately treated amblyopia in young childhood results gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



in irreversible and lifelong visual loss
gd gd gd gd gd gd



• Strabismus defect in ocular alignment, or the position of the eyes in relation to each other;
gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd



it is commonly called lazy eye.
gd gd gd gd gd gd



o strabismus may be hereditary or the result of various eye diseases (e.g.,gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd gd


neuroblastoma), trauma, systemic or neurologic dysfunction that paralyzes
