PreSchool Vision Screenings:

PreSchool-age children are screened for amblyopia (lazy eye). If left untreated, amblyopia can result in total blindness in one eye. BCAB screens pre-schoolers because if detected at an early age, amblyopia can normally be treated successfully without surgery or major expense. BCAB provides free screenings in all preschools wishing to participate.
