This lecture will delve into essential aspects of pediatric eye assessment, covering common vision problems and eye conditions that school nurses frequently encounter, such as refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism), amblyopia ("lazy eye"), strabismus (crossed eyes), and conjunctivitis. The educational need for school nurses is significant as they play a critical role in early identification of vision issues that can profoundly impact a child's learning and development. Untreated eye conditions can lead to academic difficulties, behavioral problems, and even permanent vision loss. This session will equip school nurses with the skills to conduct effective vision screenings, recognize red flags indicating potential serious eye conditions, and understand the appropriate referral pathways to ensure students receive timely and comprehensive eye care.
