Reliable Pediatric Vision Care - Kindergarten Eye Exams
The Illinois School Code requires a child to go through an eye exam prior to joining kindergarten or a public, private, or parochial school. 410 ILCS
(1998) requires vision and hearing screening services to be administered for all children no later than their first year in public school.
Wisconsin Statute 118.135 (2001) requires each school board and charter school to request each pupil joining the kindergarten to provide evidence of his or her eyes examined by a licensed optometrist or evaluated by a licensed physician.
You don't need to bring additional forms as our offices have the required school forms.
