Many vision screenings test only for distance visual acuity. While the ability to see clearly in the distance is important, it does not give any indication of how well the eyes focus up close, or work together. It also does not give any information about the health of the eyes.

Comprehensive eye and vision exams are the only effective way to confirm or rule out the presence of any eye disease or vision problem.
