pubs.rights-statement	In New South Wales (NSW) the Statewide Eyesight Preschooler Screening (StEPS) program has offered free vision screening to all four-year-old children since 2008. The screening program is conducted in preschools, childcare centres and other children’s services, with the aim of detecting vision problems prior to children starting school, at an age when reliable vision testing can be achieved and treatment for childhood ocular conditions is more effective than when they are older. The intent is that early detection and referral for treatment will benefit lifelong vision and potentially, improve learning outcomes. NSW is the only state or territory in Australia offering a universal vision screening program to preschool children. In 2014, an evaluation of StEPS screening and diagnostic outcomes concluded that a high screening rate in the targeted age range was achieved by the program, referring just over eight per cent of children for further assessment (Blows et. al. 2014). Over 90 per cent of those referred required treatment or further review.	en_US
