Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 4 page paper containing the text of a 13-slide PowerPoint presentation. Vision screening is not currently practiced in public schools. There is evidence that treatment of amblyopia becomes more difficult with age and that the most effective ages for treatment occur during preschool years. Clearly, it is not possible to treat something that has not been identified. Amblyopia leads to both near- and far-sightedness (myopia and hyperopia), which in turn can create a number of learning problems for children as they enter school. The presentation provides recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force urging vision screenings for children under the age of 5. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

Unformatted sample text from the term paper:
Conduct Screening? * Eyes develop rapidly between birth and 5 years * Many problems can be rectified during this stage of rapid growth, avoiding lifelong vision problems. - Amblyopia
- precursor for myopia (near-sightedness) and hyperopia (far-sightedness) - Sight-related learning disabilities * Prevention can decrease total costs of treatment Speaker Notes
Vision screening is not currently practiced in public schools. There is evidence that treatment of amblyopia, "reduced visual acuity in one or both eyes due to abnormal binocular interaction"
(Kemper, Harris, Lieu, Homer and Whitener, 2004), becomes more difficult with age and that the most effective ages for treatment occur during preschool years. Clearly, it is not possible
to treat something that has not been identified. Certainly not all myopia results from amblyopia, but that which does can be avoided rather
than treated throughout the life of the individual. Public health programs assist with vision correction in the worst of cases, but those who can function often believe they see
normally, even though their friends can see the blackboard in school when they cannot. These children often get left behind and function poorly in school, never knowing until seeking
a drivers license that the only problem is that they cannot see properly. Slides 3 and 4 How Can Vision Affect the Ability to Learn? Speaker Notes
Representations of normal and abnormal perception of words on a page. The purpose is to illustrate the disadvantage from which the visually-impaired (however mildly)
operate as they struggle to learn material presented to them. Slide 5 Vision Affects Learning * Problems of amblyopia and other binocular deficiencies are not so dramatic, but their
