What’s in it

This bill requires that all vision screening methods utilized in meeting the requirement for a child vision screening shall include comprehensive testing for convergence insufficiency. “Convergence insufficiency” is a vision condition that affects near vision and eye muscle coordination and that is characterized by a decreased ability to converge the eyes and maintain binocular fusion while focusing on a near target.
