What vision AP do they use?

Before providing vision AP, it is essential that there is a thorough review of the person’s vision.

This is to make sure their vision problem is not caused by a condition that could be treated to either restore or improve their vision.

This module teaches how to carry out a simple vision screen. The screen is designed to help identify whether a referral to a doctor or eye health professional is needed before considering possible vision AP.
