KidSight Screening at Little Light House in Tulsa
The Tulsa Downtown Lions KidSight team vision visits many schools for free vision screening of their students. The team is trained and certified using the Welch Allyn Spot Vision screener. This device is designed to screen children as young as 6 months old. It's so important to discover an issue early. This device can detect:
Myopia – “Near-sightedness” is when the eyes focus incorrectly, making distant objects appear blurred. It can be treated with glasses.
Hyperopia – “Far-sightedness” is the difficulty seeing objects that are near. Untreated this can contribute to “crossing of the eyes” but can be corrected with glasses.
Astigmatism – A condition in which the cornea has an abnormal curve causing out-of-focus vision.
Anisometropia – This condition can adversely affect the development of binocular vision in infants and children. The brain will often suppress the vision of the blurrier eye in a condition called Amblyopia or “lazy eye.”
Anisocoria - is a condition where the pupil of one eye differs in size from the pupil of the other. Your pupil is the black circle in the center of your eye. The pupils of your eyes are usually the same size.
Strabismus – Eyes are not directed to an object simultaneously. Sometimes the eyes deviate outward and sometimes inward.
Gaze – eye alignment measurements
It wonderful to make a difference. If you'd like us to screen your school, daycare or group, please contact us 918-742-5555 or email kidsightoktulsa@gmail.com
