Welcome to VisionQuest 20/20
There's a significant public health issue at stake when vision disorders in children go undetected. For many children, the lack of access to reliable and affordable vision screenings leads to lifelong health, academic and psychosocial consequences, such as poor grades, low self esteem and the inability to participate in sports.
That's why VisonQuest 20/20 is working with schools to implement the EyeSpy 20/20™ video game technology for affordable school-based vision screenings. With EyeSpy 20/20™, schools can screen children by having them "play" the fun, interactive video game that detects vision problems early on, when there is still time for corrective action.
We are working with people like you - parents, school officials, philanthropic donors, sponsors and the general public - to implement this program in schools across the nation.
What We Do
Committed to putting an end to a serious public health issue, VisionQuest 20/20 provides a state-of-the-art vision screening program comprised of software EyeSpy 20/20™ to accurately screen children for potential vision disorders.
We facilitate training and support for our comprehensive vision screening technologies to assist schools across the nation to conduct reliable vision screenings. Accurate and cost-effective, our program helps identify children suffering from eye conditions including amblyopia (lazy eye) and then refers them to an eye care professional to seek corrective treatment before it's too late.
Vision Statistics
- Vision problems affect more than 5 million elementary school children nationwide.
- Amblyopia, or "lazy eye," is the leading cause of monocular blindness in America.
- When not identified in its early stages, amblyopia can result in permanent vision loss.
- Vision disorders adversely impact a child's academic and athletic performance as well as their psychosocial development.
- The cost associated with treating someone whose vision has been compromised due to a condition like amblyopia can reach as high as $2,500 per year.
- 80% of school children in the United States do not receive annual vision screenings.
