  • Title: Vision screening project--Eilat, Israel.
    Author: Moss HL.
    Journal: J Am Optom Assoc; 1978 Jan; 49(1):58-60. PubMed ID: 624828.
    Abstract:
    The author relates his experience in developing and conducting a vision screening program for 1,522 children between age one to six of Eilat, Israel. He describes a method similar to the Modified Clinical Technique which he adapted to the specific circumstances and devised a simplified two-minute procedure which proved very effective in use. The author clearly demonstrates the need and advantage of a professionally conducted program with cooperation of the Yosepthal Hospital, the public health nurses and the teachers of the Eilat school system. The results indicate a low overall referral rate of 7-1/2%, probably due to the early and careful attention most children receive. His conclusions support the importance of a vision screening program and substantiate the value of a Modified Clinical Screening procedure.
