CCHP Vision Screening

A vision screening is a test that helps find out if a child has normal vision for their age.

• A Public Health Nurse (PHN) checks your child's vision using the LEA chart for children ages 3-5.  
  • The chart hangs on the wall at the child’s eye level and the child names or tap pictures of the shapes they see.
  • The shapes used during the screening are: circle, square, house, and apple.  
• Parents/guardians receive a letter with the screening results.
• If we find vision problems or a child is unable to complete the screening, we will refer them for follow up.
