COMPONENTS OF EYE AND VISION SCREENING
AND SUMMARY OF RECOMMENDATIONS
A P P E N D I X A P P E N D I X

The vision testing using LEA Chart or its equivalent is preferably done at
distance and near starting 3 years of age. The vision testing procedure
is as follows:

Distance visual acuity should be tested at 6 meters (20 ft) or 3 meters

(10 ft) and at reading distance of 34-40 cm (14-16 inches) from child
under good illumination
Establish a method of communication i.e. naming or pointing
(matching). Decide with child which means will be used to identify
symbols.
"Let's play a game"
Start with both eyes open to acquaint child with the "game".
Point briefly at each of the 4 symbols (circle, house, apple, square) on
the lowest line, observe the baseline responses for comprehension,
speed and accuracy.
Demonstrate to child that the "game" can be played with 1 eye
occluded.
Cover the top line with a white card and ask the child to identify only the
l"t symbol on the line below the covering card.
Repeat procedure for the each lower line moving quickly down (to
avoid tiring the child) until the child hesitates or misidentifies a symbol.
Upon reaching the misidentified symbol, move back up 1 line and ask
the child to identify all the symbols on that line.
If the child skips a symbol, ask the child to try again.
Visual Acuity is recorded as the last line on which at least 4 of the 5
symbols are read correctly. (Ex. If up to 10" line VA=20/40 or 0.5).
Always test until this threshold line. If only 3 out of 5 are read correctly,
record the result: visual acuity of the previous line (+3).
Repeat test with the other eye occluded.
If the child wears glasses, they should be worn.
Watch out for peekers.
Frustration or disinterest often indicates that the child no longer
recognizes a symbol.
Pointing at the line to be read is preferable over pointing at a specific
symbol.
If results are inconclusive, repeat or refer.

You can bring the child to the Child Protection Unit of PGH, PCMC and
East Avenue Medical Center. It is the duty of hospital administrators, doctors, 9. Weight forAge for Girls: 2 to 5 years
nurses, government teachers and employees of government agencies to report 10. Height for Age for Girls: 2 to 5 years
abuse. 11. Weight for Height for Girls: 2 to 5 years
12. BMI for Age for Girls: 2 to 5 years
Learn How to React to the Knowledge of Abuse. Offer support:
Believe thechild and make sure the child knowsyou believe in 13. Weight for Age for Girls: 5 to 10 years
him/her. Very few reports of child abuse are not true. 14. Height for Age for Girls: 5to 19years
Thank the child for telling you and for having the courage to do 15. BMI for Age for Girls: 5 to 19 years

Figure 3. Z- SCORE INTERPRETATION+2 Figure 4. Head Circumference for Age for Girls

Compare the points plotted on the child's growth charts with the z-score lines to
determine whether they indicate a growth problem. Measurements in the shaded
boxes are in the normal range.

Notes: J_
A child in this range is very tall. Tallness is rarely a problem, unless it is so excessive that it
!
may indicate an endocrine disorder such as a growth-hormone-producing tumor. Refer a child

'
in this range of assessment if you suspect an endocrine disorder (e.g. if parents of normal I-

height have a child who is excessively tall for his or her age.
Illl
A child whose weight-for-age falls in this range may have a growth problem, but this is better II
assessed from weight-for-length/height or BMI-for-age. I
A plotted point above 1 shows possible risk. A trend towards the 2 z-score line shows definite
risk.

4. It is possible for a stunted or severely stunted child to become overweight.

5. This is referred to as very low weight in IMCI training modules. (Integrated Management of
Childhood Illness, In-service training. WHO, Geneva,1977.)

The Childhood Immunization Schedule presents recommendations for immunization for children and adolescent~ based on the knowledge, experience and premises current at the time of publication. The schedule represents a
consensus with which physicians may at times disagree. No claim is made for infallibifity, and the PPS, PIDSP an PFV acknowledge that individual circumstances may warrant a decision differing from the recommendations given here.
The recommendations are not absolute. Physicians must regularly update their knowledge about specific vaccines and their use because information about safety and efficacy of vaccines and recommendations relative to their
