However, Covid-19 has caused major interruptions in education and child health services. This has meant that the vision screening services have been delayed, postponed or cancelled for some of the children who started Reception Year in 2019.\nChildren often cope very well with some eye problems which need to be identified and treated early to avoid lifelong visual loss. For this reason, it is important that even children with apparently normal vision should be tested.  The screening assessment ensures that your child has good vision in both eyes, and that their vision is developing normally.  It is performed at this age so that any reduced vision or difference in vision between each eye can be picked up before the visual system is fully developed and any treatment necessary can be started.\nIf your child falls in any of the groups below then you do not need to do anything. You should ignore this letter if your child -\nHas already had a vision test at school\nOr\nIs currently under the care of an Ophthalmologist / Orthoptist / Optometrist at your local Hospital Eye Clinic\nOr\nIs currently under the care of a local Optometrist (Optician) or had a recent sight test\nIf none of the above applies, please arrange with your local optometry practice (optician) for your child to have a free NHS sight test.\nPlease telephone the practice to book an appointment. You may have to wait a few weeks before an appointment can be offered.  You will not have to pay for the sight test.\nWe recommend your child has this sight test in case she/he has a problem which requires treatment.  Young children rarely complain about having reduced vision. If only one eye is affected it is even less likely to be noticed by the child, parents or anyone else.  A sight test will identify any problems. The optometrist (optician) will be able to explain the results and any next steps with you during the sight test.\nFor further information, please visit \u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.nhs.uk/childrens-eyes\" \u0014www.nhs.uk/childrens-eyes\u0015\nScreening Provider Contact details","cbCaigD257WuqMGm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigD257WuqMGm","docx",27808,"English","# Child Vision Screening for Ages 4 to 5\n## Purpose and timing of screening\n## When parents should take no action\n## Booking a free NHS sight test\n## Contact and further information","[{\"question\":\"What is Child Vision Screening for children aged 4 to 5?\",\"answer\":\"It assesses whether a child has good vision in both eyes and whether vision is developing normally at an early stage.\"},{\"question\":\"When should parents ignore this letter?\",\"answer\":\"If the child has already had a vision test at school, is under the care of an ophthalmologist/orthoptist/optometrist, or has recently seen a local optometrist (optician) or had a sight test.\"},{\"question\":\"If none of the exemptions apply, what should parents do next?\",\"answer\":\"Arrange a free NHS sight test with a local optometry practice (optician) and book an appointment by telephone, noting there may be a waiting period.\"}]","Appendix-1 - Template for Letter to Parents - Child Vision Screening | DOCX"]
