"National PTA recognizes:
Early diagnosis and treatment of children's vision problems is a necessary component to school readiness
and academic learning; and that vision screening is not a substitute for a complete eye and vision evaluation
by an eye doctor. Comprehensive eye and vision examinations by an optometrist or ophthalmologist are important
for all children first entering school and regularly throughout their school-aged years to ensure healthy eyes
and adequate vision skills essential for successful academic achievement;"
