About the Program

DID YOU KNOW… Ohio’s senior adult population is expanding at a rapid rate as the Baby Boomer population ages, and with this expansion comes a significant number of vision problems and age related eye diseases.

Today there are 1,259,000 older Ohioans affected by vision problems that if not detected and treated early, could lead to blindness. Because of the growth in the aging population, there will be more than 2.5 million Ohioans affected by vision-robbing conditions by the Year 2030!

The 4-hour training provides:

• Instruction on how to perform near and distance visual acuity screenings;
  
  
• Instruction on how to perform a visual field test to help detect changes in peripheral vision;
  
  
• Detailed information on "aging eye" diseases and disorders;
  
  
• Information on how to set up a screening area;
  
  
• Adult Vision Screening Guidelines published by Prevent Blindness America.

Upon successful completion of the training, participants will be nationally certified to provide vision screenings for three years and are eligible to receive FREE vision screening equipment (a $250 value) that includes:

• Adult Risk Assessment/Registration Forms;
  
  
• Near Visual Acuity Chart;
  
  
• Distance Visual Acuity Chart;
  
  
• Damato Campimeter;
  
  
• Damato Recording Forms;
  
  
• Assorted educational vision resources and brochures.
