Utah State Statute (UCA 53G-9-404) mandates vision screening in Utah public schools. The Utah Department of Health (UDOH) requires screening students for basic distance visual acuity in pre-kindergarten, kindergarten, and grades 1, 3, 5, 7 or 8, and 9 or 10. Tenth grade students may be screened as part of their driver education class. Students referred by a parent or school personnel should also be screened during any grade. Students in the grades listed above must be screened annually.

At the start of each school year, a form letter be sent home to the above listed grades informing parents that a vision screening will take place. If you do not want your child to participate in school vison screening, you must return the form to the school indicating your preference.

If a student is referred for a special education evaluation or revaluation, does not achieve benchmark on the reading assessment (grades 1-3), or there is another concern regarding his/her vision, a Symptoms Questionnaire should be completed by the teacher or parent and given to the school nurse. The school nurse will then conduct a higher level of vision screening that includes near vision, eye focusing or tracking, convergence insufficiency, and when available photoscreening.
