宗旨 Mission
香 港兒童視力篩查及教育中心（VSEC) 是一間慈善機構（稅局慈善機構檔案編號：91/18372），致力推動兒童視覺健康教育，使社區及家長們提升對眼睛護理的重視。
本中心提供免費到訪學校服務，為全港二至五歲學童進行檢測，填補政府暫時未涵括的年齡層，家長無需另外預約。利用先進視力測試儀器，在不需幼童特別配合之下於熟識的環境完成檢查。項目包括視力雙眼協調（包括斜視），評估屈光問題（近視、遠視或散光），但不包括色覺檢查眼疾（如青光眼、視網膜病變等）。於孩子視力矯正黃金期內，及早發現問題回復正常視力，減少因延遲發現異常而導致終生視力受損，影響日常生活。
逾四成香港兒童需配戴眼鏡 比率冠絕全球
香港小朋友愈來愈早要戴眼鏡，六歲或以下群組近視比率逾一成一，至升讀小四時的近視比例便升至*逾四成，反映近視趨向「幼齡化」。
現時香港政府的《學前兒童視力普查》 提供四至五歲兒童免費視力測試，家長需要預約前往母嬰健康院進行檢查。兒童視力發展在零至八歲最為重要，是矯正視力的黃金期，故越早發現異常，便能及早進行適當治療。但幼童的理解及表達能力有限，他們大多數未能配合完成坊間一般的視光檢測。*根據中大醫學院眼科團隊於2019年發佈的「香港兒童眼科計劃」研究結果
H ong Kong Vision Screening and Education Center (VSEC) is a charitable institution which under section 88 of The Inland Revenue Ordinance (File No.: 91/18372). VSEC aims to promote children visual health education and raise the awareness of vision health in community.
VSEC is also committed to provide free school vision screening to all pre-school children in Hong Kong, and to fill the age group not covered by the government. Detecting vision problems early could avoid delay in treatment ; correct and restore normal vision during the golden period could be achieved.
More than 40% of Hong Kong children have vision problems and wear glasses; the highest ratio in the world
Children who need to wear glasses are getting younger and younger in age. The rate of myopia in the group of six years old or younger is more than 11%, and the rate of myopia in the group of primary four has risen to more than 40% * . reflecting the tendency of myopia to be "younger in age" .
The Family Health Service of the Department of Health provides vision screening for preschool children at 4 to 5 years of age by registered optometrist/orthoptist. Parents could make an appointment for their children with the Maternal and Child Health Center for the said screening. Children’s vision development is most crucial in their early ages, and age between zero to eight is the golden period of vision correction. Hence, the sooner the vision problems are found, the earlier appropriate treatment can be carried out. Due to the limited understanding and expression skills of young children, most of them may not fully fulfil the general visual examination.*Based on the research findings of the Hong Kong Children's Ophthalmology Project released by the Ophthalmology Team of the School of Medicine of CUHK in 2019
