Texas DSHS Vision Screening Practice Exam

Muscle balance testing looks at how well both eyes align and work together. If a child repeatedly fails either test, it signals a likely binocular vision or alignment issue that needs a professional evaluation, so a referral to the primary care physician or an eye specialist is appropriate. One-off failures can be due to testing conditions or momentary difficulty, but repeating failures point to a real problem. If the child is never tested or always passes, there’s no evidence from this screening to justify a referral.
