Use the PEC Screen form to guide you.

Distance vision screen section of the PEC Screen form.

Distance vision screen chart

Kuna safu mbili za herufi:

  • Safu moja herufi kubwa VOHT (6/60)
  • safu moja ya herufi ndogo VHTVO (6/12).

The numbers next to each row of letters describe the size of the letters.

Maelekezo

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’.

Eleza upimaji wa uoni kwa kutumia chati ya HOTV:

  • Give the child the HOTV pointing card
  • Instruct the child to hold the pointing card flat on their lap, with the letters facing them
  • Eleza kwamba watahitaji kuoanisha herufi wanayoiona kwenye chati, na kadi ya kuelekeza ilyo kwenye mapaja yao.

angalia mtoto ameelewa:

  • Onyesha herufi kwenye mstari wa juu (6/60) wa chati
  • Mwambie mtoto alinganishe herufi kwenye kadi yake ya kuashiria.

Dokezo

Ikiwa inahitajika, msaidizi anaweza kusaidia kwa kukaa au kusimama karibu na mtoto na kushikilia kadi ya kuelekeza.

Hii ni muhimu sana kwa watoto wadogo au wale walio na ulemavu wa kusoma.

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.

Miwani ya macho

Maelekezo

If the child wears spectacles for distance vision, or both distance and near vision, check if they are wearing them for the distance vision screen.

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

  • angalia miwani ni safi
  • Record that spectacles are being worn on the PEC Screen form.

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

Jicho la kulia

Maelekezo

Anza na jicho la kulia la mtoto.

  • Mwambie mtoto afunike jicho lake la kushoto kwa kiziba jicho (au kiganja cha mkono wao wa kushoto), akiacha jicho la kulia wazi kuona.
  • Hakikisha kwamba mtoto habonyezi kiziba jicho (au mkono) kwenye jicho lake
  • Kagua kama mtoto amefunika macho lake vizuri. Ikiwa mtoto anapata shida kufunika jicho, msaidizi anaweza kumsaidia.

A child sits on a chair. The child covers their left eye with their left hand. They point to a letter on the pointing card with their right finger.

Jicho la kulia: mstari wa juu

Kwa kutumia kalamu au kidole, onyesha kila herufi kwenye mstari wa juu (6/60) na umwombe mtoto aonyeshe herufi inayolingana kwenye kadi ya kuelekeza HOTV.

  • If child matches 2 or more letters correctly on the top line record Yes continue to the bottom line
  • If child matches fewer than 2 letters record No continue to the left eye.

Dokezo

  • Sogeza mkono wako taratibu, ukielekeza chini ya kila herufi
  • Epuka kufunika au kuficha herufi kwa kiganja au mkono wako.

Jicho la kulia: mstari wa chini

Onyesha kila herufi kwenye mstari wa chini (6/12) na umwombe mtoto aonyeshe herufi inayolingana kwenye kadi ya kuelekeza HOTV.

  • If child matches 3 or more letters correctly on the bottom line record Yes
  • If child matches fewer than 3 letters record No.

Jicho la kushoto

Maelekezo

Rudia upimaji wa uoni wa mbali kwa jicho la kushoto la mtoto.

Mwambie mtoto azibe jicho lake la kulia na kiziba jicho(au kiganja cha mkono wao wa kulia), na kuacha jicho la kushoto likiwa wazi kuona.

Jicho la kushoto: mstari wa juu

  • If child matches 2 or more letters correctly on the top line (6/60) record Yes continue to the bottom line
  • If child matches fewer than 2 letters record No continue to eye health screen.

Jicho la kushoto: mstari wa chini

  • If child matches 3 or more letters correctly on the bottom line (6/12) record Yes
  • If child matches fewer than 3 letters record No.

Record result

  • If the child achieves Yes to top and bottom lines, both eyes skip to the eye health screen (because they are under 40 years old)
  • If Hapana for either eye:
    • Top line skip to the eye health screen and refer to eye health professional urgently
    • Bottom line skip to the eye health screen and refer to eye health professional.
