Vision and Hearing screenings are performed for school age children three and older. The main goal of the vision
and hearing program is early detection of vision and hearing problems in children. Certified technicians provide the
vision and hearing screenings at schools and preschools. Screenings are also done once a month at the Health
Department by appointment. The vision screenings are not meant as a substitute for a professional examination by
an eye doctor, as the Will County Health Department does not have an optometrist on staff.
