eye screening

Sight health assessment

Eye screening is a brief examination to detect vision problems or eye diseases, typically conducted as a preliminary check rather than a comprehensive eye exam.

Schools commonly perform eye screenings on children to identify those who may need glasses: The pediatrician does an eye screening at every well-child visit.

Unlike a full eye exam, screenings are quick assessments that flag potential issues for further evaluation.
