What Our Screeners Detect
The Spot Vision Screener checks for the most common childhood vision problems in just a few seconds. It can identify:
-
Nearsightedness (difficulty seeing far away)
-
Farsightedness (difficulty seeing up close)
-
Astigmatism (blurry or distorted vision)
-
Anisometropia (unequal prescription between the eyes)
-
Strabismus (eye misalignment)
-
Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)
-
Amblyopia risk factors (“lazy eye” indicators)
If Your Child Was Flagged for an Eye Exam
If your child’s vision screening results recommend a visit to an eye doctor and cost is a barrier, the South Dakota Lions can help. Families can apply for financial assistance to cover the exam—and glasses if needed.
