Pediatric Vision Screening Instruction - Free Access

The pediatrician plays an important role in preserving a child’s vision.  Many eye disorders of early childhood are not apparent without appropriate testing.  Early detection of conditions such as amblyopia, infantile cataract, and retinoblastoma lead to better outcomes.  Age-appropriate screening tests incorporated into a well child exam may help save the sight of your next patient.

In forty minutes, the Pediatric Vision Screening "e-Video" reviews examination techniques for children from birth through five years of age.  The presentation also reviews the benefits of early detection of some common and significant pediatric eye disorders.  The program’s modules can be viewed sequentially or individually.

The series is available free at http://www.aao.org/education/ped_vision/index.cfm
