Instruksi

For children eight years and younger, select the HOTV chart on the PEC Screen form.

Chart with two lines of letters. The top larger line (6/60) reads ‘V’, ‘O’,‘H’,‘T’. The bottom smaller line (6/12) is outlined by a rectangle and reads ‘V’, H’, T’, V’, O’.

Jelaskan skrining penglihatan dengan bagan HOTV chart:

  • Give the child the HOTV pointing card
  • Instruct the child to hold the pointing card flat on their lap, with the letters facing them
  • Minta anak mencocokkan huruf yang mereka lihat di bagan di depan dengan huruf di kartu tunjuk yang mereka pegang.

Pastikan anak sudah paham:

  • Tunjuk huruf pada baris teratas (6/60) pada bagan

Tip

Jika perlu, seorang pendamping dapat membantu dengan duduk atau berdiri di samping anak dan memegangkan kartu penunjuk.

If a child is unable to understand or carry out the instructions, do not continue with the vision screen. Select unable to complete distance vision screen skip to eye health screen then refer to an eye health professional.

Health worker stands close to a child holding HOTV chart in one hand and points to a letter. The child sits on chair holding the pointing card flat on their lap.

Kacamata

If the child needs to wear their spectacles for the distance vision screen:

  • Pastikan kacamata sudah bersih
  • Record that spectacles are being worn on the PEC Screen form.

If you are using an occluder, clean it before using it.

Mata kanan

Instruksi

Mulai dengan mata kanan anak.

  • Minta anak untuk menutup mata kirinya dengan occluder (atau telapak tangan kirinya), dan mata kanannya tetap terbuka untuk melihat
  • Pastikan anak tidak menekan mata dengan occluder (atau telapak tangan)
