It is necessary even during the corona invasion

The head of the welfare department of Taft city said: more than 1500 children from 3 to 6 years old are eligible for the vision assessment plan. Majid Fasahat added: more than a month after the beginning of the vision test, more than 600 children have not been tested yet. He said: "Measuring children's eyesight is necessary and inevitable to prevent children from developing visual impairments, but so far, many families have not referred to the only vision testing center in the city located in Mehrmandgar Institute to measure their children's eyesight." Fasahat added: "Considering the prevalence of coronavirus, the main reason why families do not visit is the fear of their own or their beloved child getting infected with the coronavirus, but it should be said that vision testing is done by prior appointment and through the device without the slightest physical contact with the child." So there is no need to worry. The head of the Taft Welfare Department said that last year 1700 children aged 3 to 6 years were tested for vision. "Of these, 12 children with lazy eye, 16 with refractive errors, and 1 with anxiety were identified," he said. Referring to the implementation of the lazy eye plan at three levels, he said: "In the first level, trained educators assess children's vision, and if a child is diagnosed with lazy eye, he is referred to the second level, which is optometrists." . He added: "Children examined in the second level will be referred to the third level, ie ophthalmologists, if they need more specialized examinations." The head of the Taft Welfare Department stated that there is no significant change in the appearance of the eye in lazy eye: "This causes mistakes in some families and they think that their child does not have the disease." He considered the best age for diagnosis and treatment of this disease to be under 5 years old and emphasized: this disease is incurable after the age of 10 and over time the treatment of this disease becomes more difficult and longer.
