In the case of children who require a complete eye exam, additional information is provided in the mailing as to the meaning of conditions identified on the screening result, eye care professionals in the region and agencies that may provide assistance to families in need. When the child receives an eye exam, an evaluation form is provided to the eye care professional, which the eye care professional is asked to complete and return to npef. As of may 2015, after only three years, npef has screened 8,446 children, 976 (12%) of whom were recommended for eye examinations. Long-term, our strategy is to continue to expand cvsi screenings in our region through partnerships with the eye care industry, donors and businesses in order to sustain this important and worthwhile initiative. In the fall of 2014, npef was afforded the opportunity to engage a 4th year medical student at the university of south dakota sanford school of medicine and a partnering optometric intern from the illinois college of optometry in a research project related to npef's cvsi. The research project culminated in the publication of a manuscript entitled, "results of a pediatric vision screening program in western south dakota" in the march 2015 edition of south dakota medicine, the south dakota state medical association medical journal. Since that time, npef continues to engage with 4th year medical students at the university of south dakota sanford school of medicine in ongoing volunteer research projects related to cvsi.”
