Step 1: Open and review the referral packet carefully.
If you have not received a referral packet, please allow up to four weeks from the date of your child’s screening for it to arrive. If you still have not received it after this time, we encourage you to contact us for assistance.
Step 2: Schedule an appointment with an eye care provider for a full dilated eye exam.
Please refer to the FIND AN EYE CARE PROVIDER button below if you require assistance in finding a provider. Please take the referral packet to the appointment so the provider can review the screening results.
Step 3: Ask the Doctor to complete the Evaluation Sheet and return it to Iowa KidSight
We kindly ask that your child’s eye care provider complete the Evaluation Sheet following the appointment. This helps us ensure the accuracy and credibility of our vision screening program, and allows us to monitor outcomes and improve services for all children. Please return the completed form to Iowa KidSight using the instructions provided.
