Eariy Defection Can lead to Correction Pre-school Visual Examinations Wise Move, Parents Told By GAY PAULEY UP! Women's Editor NEW YORK (UPI) They've called "the forgotten people." They number at least 6.4 million in the United States, according to one estimate. Another figures that one person in every 10 households has "serious" problems. They're the persons, young, middle- aged and aged, who are classed as "visually impaired," many of them treated as blind but with the right to sight. Unfortunately, too, many of these visually impaired are preschoolers who need treatment before it's too late.

One out of every hundred, unless preventive measures have been taken earlier, may have amblyopia ex anopsia--'lazy eye This condition is readily remediable; the tragedy is that by the time the youngster gets to school, help may be too.late." A New Publication Those are the words of Irvin H. Dickman, writing in a new publication, "What Can We Do about Limited Vision?" from the Public Affairs Committee, a New York-based nonprofit educational organization. Dickman drew on information from various organizations dealing with vision including the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB), the National Society for the Pfeyention of Blindness (NSPB), rehabilitation agencies, government offices working with the handicapped and with individual op- thalmologists and optometrists. He writes that when the two eyes do not work together properly--even though both may be otherwise normal-the child may actually stop using one of them.

"The longer this goes on, the less chance that central vision --the ability to see small details--will ever develop in the lazy eye," he says. "For the best results treatments should begin at age three." Dickman says the best hope could lie in preschool vision programs. Some states, Michigan for one, have active screening programs operating through state, local and civic groups. Very Few Reached But he says that according to the NSPB fewer than 500,000 of the 16 million preschoolers are reached by vision screening efforts. Thus, NSPB has worked put a "home eye test" that parents can give their children to determine whether they should have professional help.

Dickman lists the made in special issues and other optical aids for the visually impaired. He cites case histories of those with severe impairment who've been able to go to jobs such as teaching, computer programming, social work, X-ray technicians, salesmen, radio repairmen and musicians. Although there is much emphasis on prevention and rehabilitation of children, he says that the largest share of visually impaired are the 65 years and older group, for as the life span increases, so do the diseases of aging, including those of the eyes.
