Abstract
In a recent discussion paper from the Centre for Community Child Health in Australia,1 it is reported that ‘Currently, there is little consistency in how and when (children's) vision screening is conducted across Australian states and territories’. This lack of clinical knowledge persists despite the fact that ocular disorders, together with allergies and asthma, are the most common long‐term health problems experienced by Australian children.2 The prevalence of children's eye disorders is also not accurately known.
