For children from the age of 5 years,instrument-based vision screening in combination with HOTV critical line testing can help improve findings by increasing sensitivity and thus reducing false-negative results.Children who pass instrument-based vision screening are to perform an HOTV critical line test to meet the requirements of typical state guidelines.The “critical line” is the age dependent line a child is expected to see normally and pass. Incorporating this concept into screening procedures offers a quick and reliable assessment of visual acuity in young children
