A new report from the Vision Council shows that state laws regarding the vision assessments that schools do for children entering school are inconsistent. Some states don't even require assessments, and many do not mandate any follow-up care for children who fail the screening test. Unfortunately, nearly two-thirds of the children entering school do not receive a vision screening. Because 80 percent of what children learn is through visual processing of information, undetected vision problems can severely impact a child's learning. They can also impact a child's performance in extracurricular activities. -- Important Information
