A survey of health districts in England and Wales was carried out at the end of 1984 to ascertain among other things the range of current programmes for preschool vision screening. The response rate was 81.3%. Altogether 94% of districts reported screening for both reduced visual acuity and squint; two districts screened for neither. A great variety of different types of tests were in use and screening was carried out at a variety of different ages. A high proportion of districts were screening children for reduced visual acuity in infancy, although screening tests applicable at this age have not been shown to be effective. Districts screened for squint between one and four times. Collection of routine monitoring information by districts was poor.
1984年底，对英格兰和威尔士的卫生区进行了一项调查，以确定当前学龄前视力筛查项目的范围等情况。回复率为81.3%。总共有94%的区报告同时筛查视力下降和斜视；有两个区都未进行筛查。使用了各种各样不同类型的测试，且在不同的年龄进行筛查。尽管尚未证明适用于这个年龄段的筛查测试有效，但很大比例的区在婴儿期就对儿童进行视力下降筛查。各区对斜视的筛查次数在一至四次之间。各区收集常规监测信息的情况很差。
