Working in partnership with the Kansas School Nurse Organization and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment, the Kansas Vision Coalition Task Force used evidence-based strategies supported by national organizations such as the American Optometric Association, National Association of School Nurses, National Center for Children’s Vision and Eye Health and the American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus to update screening guidelines, drawing on a standardized model of care in all 105 Kansas counties and 309 school districts.
Emphasis was placed on early detection and timely treatment of vision challenges in children from birth to age 5 and students in elementary through high school. Kira Baldonado, vice president of public health and policy for Prevent Blindness in Chicago and the keynote speaker at the 2nd annual Kansas Vision Summit in 2018, was one of the primary authors of the revised guidelines.
