YEAR SEVEN VISION SCREENING

By Southern District Health Board | Posted: Monday March 29, 2021

The Vision Hearing Technicians from Population Health team, Southern District Health will be visiting to screen all Year Seven students for distance vision on 4th May 2021.

Distance Vision (Amblyopia & Hyperopia)
This determines how well your child can see at a distance. It involves reading an eye chart.

(This free vision check is not required if student wears glasses and/or is currently under care of an optometrist or eye specialist).

The test will also be carried out on Year 8 students who missed the vision check last year (due to being absent).

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.
