Welcome to our Vision Screening Protocol© ("Protocol"), designed for non-medical professionals to identify children, birth to age three, who warrant evaluation by a pediatric eye doctor. This document, our Terms of Use, outlines how you can access and use the Protocol and related technologies.

2. Definitions

• Protocol Components. This includes a Parent Questionnaire©, Objective Vision Testing (fixation, tracking, pupillary reflex, corneal light reflection), our Scoring Guidance©, and Results & Next Steps© to support discussions with caregivers regarding their child’s vision concerns.
  
• Vision Screening Training. We offer free training through live webinars and on-demand learning videos to help you use the Protocol correctly. You must successfully complete the Vision Screening Protocol© training before using the Protocol. Sign up for the training HERE!
