KidSight Update

Thank you and congratulations to all of our KidSight volunteers for helping to screen 42,967 children so farhis year. 4,549 children were referred to an eye doctor due to detection of a vision problem (10.5 percent).  In the 6C district 18,079 children have been screened and 2,083 referred for a 11.5 percent rate of referral.  Thank you so much 6C volunteers! Your efforts on behalf of our program are truly appreciated.

 

All Kidsight screening was discontinued on March 12 for the safety of our volunteers. Since schools are now closed for an indefinite period of time I do not anticipate being able to resume screening until at east August or September. The decision on when to begin screening again will be based on scientific evidence indicating that it is safe to do so.
