Often, a child is not aware that he or she is having trouble with vision.  They're young and probably don't even realize that their sight might be impaired.  Through Keiki Vision, we go into schools, do very basic vision screening and send notes home to parents of those children who should have a follow up exam by a eye health care professional.  At a recent school screening, 25 of the 33 children screened were found to need further examinations.  Volunteers report that it's fun, and does not require advanced training.  Dr. Cedric Mitsui keeps us on the straight path on this one.
