Michigan Law (Public Health Code, Act 368, and Michigan School Code, Act 291) requires a vision screening for kindergarten entrance. Vision screening done by a health department technician, a physician, or an eye doctor fulfills this requirement. Oakland County Health Division offers free vision screening for County residents.
