Visionquest 2020

Since 2017, Visionquest 20/2202020 has continued to operate following a substantial reduction in staff personnel including consultants and volunteer engagement. Visionquest 20/2202020 continues to have no paid staff and richard tirendi is still volunteering as the ceo.in addition to supporting schools from the uhc project, Visionquest 20/2202020 continued to support the efforts of the vitalyst health foundation by providing the sourcing, deployment, and training of vision screening devices (not eyespy 20/20202020) for younger and special needs children. In 2021, this program required the distribution of 9 spot vision screening devices acquired in 2019. The recipient list for distribution and training of devices was managed by vitalyst health foundation.in addition to vitalyst health foundation funded devices, Visionquest 20/2202020 was engaged independently to provide 7 additional spot devices.given the on-going limitation in personnel, Visionquest 20/2202020 expended the vast majority of fiscal resources on program support and not on fund development. M & g expenditures were minimzed as well.in 2021, 32,198 children were provided vision screenings using the technology provided by Visionquest 20/2202020 at 122 schools in Arizona, Wisconsin, California, Pennsylvania, Texas, north dakota, south carolina, Iowa, and new jersey. The ages of the children served ranged from 18 months to 18 years with majority between ages of 5 years and 18 years. Of all children screened, 8,572 were referred for follow up from an eye care professional. Average testing duration of 2 minutes and 21 seconds per child.although this represents a significant increase in children served when compared to 2020, we anticipate serving a larger number of children annually in future years.eyespy 20/2202020 vision screening software detects distant visual acuity, depth perception and color blindness and offers ability to manually enter near visual acuity screening results for consideration when referring children for professional follow up. Eyespy 20/2202020 can be configured to provide threshold or critical line visual acuity screening at distance. Eyespy 20/2202020 also integrates with, and collects data from, objective, instrument-based vision screening devices. This integration affords schools the ability to use a combination of methods to determine which students need professional evaluation.
