    Eye Screening Letter Ridge

    The letter is from an optometrist intern requesting to conduct eye screenings for pupils at the Go Green Community School. Research shows that vision accounts for 80% of information entering the brain and undiscovered eye problems can negatively impact academic performance and development. Over 95% of vision issues cannot be detected at birth, so annual screenings from ages 6 months to teenage years are important. Many eye conditions in children are hard to notice but can lead to permanent vision impairment if left untreated. The doctor proposes to carry out screenings in September after obtaining parental consent.

    Dear Sir/Madam,

    INTENTION TO CONDUCT EYE SCREENING FOR THE PUPILS IN YOUR SCHOOL

    I am Dr. Raphael Kyei Baffour a houseman/intern optometrist (eye doctor)


    at the Department of Optometry and Vision Science Eye Clinic, University of Cape Coast
    and I wish to draw your attention to the growing need for regular eye screening for school
    children following the findings of current research on vision and academic-related eye
    problems in the said population.

    Research has shown that vision/eye sight is the largest portal of entry to the brain accounting
    for about 80% of the information that is carried into the brain through learning. That being
    said, a seemingly insignificant eye problem in a child ,if undetected and not given early
    treatment can seriously affect the child's academic performance, performance in sports and
    the child's overall psycho-social health. What makes the issue critical is the fact that over
    95% of vision-related problems cannot be detected by the eye doctor at birth and usually
    start to manifest as the child develops hence warranting the need for annual eye screening for
    children from 6-months old to teenage years. More so, most sight conditions in children are
    not easily observable by their parents, their teachers or the children themselves hence these
    vulnerable children are sometimes predisposed to eye conditions like squint (cross-eye),
    amblyopia (lazy eye) etc which may lead to irreversible/permanent visual impairment.

    In view of the above that my colleague doctors and myself have taken the initiative to embark
    on an eye screening and disease management/treatment for the pupils in your school after the
    necessary protocol, including parental consent, has been followed. We propose to carry out
    the exercise in the month of September this year. We look forward to hear from you soon.

    Yours faithfully.

    ...........................

    Dr. Raphael Kyei Baffour
