We all know how important it is

to follow up on the childrenbeing referred for possible eye

problems after our screening is

over. As many of us have indi-

cated, our screening work is not

helpful if the referred child does

not then get help.

Most of our children being

screened have young parents,

who grew up with all the latest

technology, so it makes sense to

become more tech savvy in

our approach to follow up.

Some suggestions and ideas to

make this easier are to:

Include an email address for the

organization and/or a QR code

so they can go right to the web

site and fill out a simple form.

This form is a simple yes and no:

Did the child see an eye care

specialist? Y or N

If so was the problem: A,B or C

In addition obtain e mail ad-dresses so you can send a re-

minder to the parents about

follow up.

Follow up with the teacher is

sometimes very successful as

they know the parents well and

can approach them as to

whether or not the child has

received eye care follow up.
