Back to About the Project

Wyoming has screened approximately 43,600 children. Over 4000 of those children have been referred on to an eye care professional. Adequate exams completed by the eye care professionals indicate that approximately 1800 children referred to them for possible eye difficulties received a diagnosis of a vision impairment and are undergoing various treatments/corrections. Over 260 children have been found to have amblyopia (lazy eye) and are receiving treatment.
