Abstract

The article reports on the results of a survey by "Which? Health News" regarding vision screening for children in Great Britain. The survey has found that a third of all children in England have no organised vision screening. It says that despite a recommendation for a national screening programme, one in 10 primary care trusts (PCTs) does not arrange for any vision testing for four to five year olds at all.
