SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Good vision is essential for proper physical
development and educational progress in growing children.
(2) Many serious ocular conditions are treatable if
identified in the preschool and early school-aged years.
(3) Early detection of ocular conditions provides the best
opportunity for effective, inexpensive treatment and can have
far-reaching implications for vision.
(4) Various identification methods, whether vision
screening or comprehensive eye exams required by State laws,
will identify children needing services. A child identified
through vision screening should receive a comprehensive eye
exam followed by subsequent treatment as needed. A child
identified through a comprehensive eye exam should receive
subsequent treatment as needed. All children identified as
needing services should have access to subsequent treatment as
needed.
