Students at Beulah Elementary in Chesterfield County were given free eye tests last week using a state-of-the-art technology that takes just seconds to work.
The tests are courtesy of Conexus, which purchased the VisioCheck equipment and manages the program, which is funded largely through donations.
“It takes about five seconds per child to check for about six different vision issues,” said Kia Miles, a Conexus staff member. “It’s measuring for astigmatism, nearsighted, far-sighted. It’s actually measuring their gaze. If it’s symmetrical, it’s measuring their pupil size and the distance between them.”
