Assistance League of San Jose recognizes the importance of early vision screening for good eye health in preschool children. Did you know 80% of learning in the early years is visual? If vision problems are not detected early, they could interfere with the child\u2019s learning progress. One problem such as Amblyopia, or lazy eye, if not caught at an early age, could lead to loss of vision in the affected eye. The Screening Eyes Early Program provides vision screening to detect early signs of this condition and other vision problems. The screening results are given to the parents or guardians and identify children who need follow-up and re-screening by a professional. The value of this program cannot be overstated.<\/p>\n

Assistance League of San Jose members interested in this program take a 3-hour mandatory training session that explains the process of vision screening and a 3-hour practicum to get hands-on experience with the preschoolers. The practicum provides an opportunity to see the screening process in action, to practice with feedback and to ask questions.<\/p>\n

The screening day is a lot of fun for the children because they get to play the eye game. The ladies are so welcoming that the children are eager to be called for the important vision screening. Our parents are thankful for this opportunity. I am grateful for the professional, friendly and organized volunteers who provide such a valuable service to our young children.<\/em><\/p><\/div>

Thank you for your continued service to our children. The difference you make is remarkable. When you did your vision screening, you found one child to need a referral. To update you on his status he has been seen by an optometrist and was prescribed glasses.<\/em><\/div>
