The first step in assessing if a person may need near vision spectacles is to complete the TAP vision screen (or a similar vision screen). How to carry out this screen is covered in the TAP Vision assistive products module.
Al realizar la exploración de la visión que se presenta en la capacitación TAP se podrá determinar si una persona que tiene un problema de visión:
- necesita que la deriven a un profesional de la salud ocular o médico;
- May benefit from prescription spectacles (not covered in TAP)
- May benefit from vision assistive products that can be provided at community level (such as near vision spectacles).
