DIY Vision Screening Kit
Founded in the 19th century, S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians and Optometrists has become a hallmark of quality and precision in eyewear. As Karnataka’s pioneering opticians, we have built a legacy of excellence that spans generations. Our boutique stores in Bangalore offer a curated selection of eyewear that seamlessly blends heritage with luxury. Beyond eyeglasses, we provide comprehensive vision care, including myopia management and speciality contact lenses.
At SRGR, we believe that good vision is essential for a bright future, especially for children. That’s why we’ve developed the DIY Vision Screening Kit—an educational tool designed to promote eye health among young ones. This kit empowers parents and children to take proactive steps in maintaining healthy eyes, ensuring that children can see clearly and thrive.
In the heart of the jungle, where trees touch the sky and rivers run clear, lives Mr. Mole, a curious creature with less-than-perfect eyesight. One day, he meets Mr. Eagle, a wise bird with incredibly sharp vision, and asks for advice on caring for his eyes. Together, they embark on a journey and meet Doc Chimp, the jungle's smartest doctor, who shares essential tips for healthy eyes. Through this enchanting tale, brought to you by S.R.Gopal Rao Opticians & Optometrists, children learn the importance of eye health in a fun and engaging way, enjoying the adventures of their jungle friends.

04
Conduct the Vision Test
-
Have the child sit on a chair or stand at the 10-foot line (which will be marked using a tape), ensuring the chart is at their eye level.​
-
Cover one eye with the eye patch provided and read till the smallest line they can see. Ensure the child doesn’t peak.
-
If the child wears glasses, conduct the test with glasses on. Cover one eye with the hand instead of the eye patch and then alternate.
-
Two people are needed: one to point at the characters on the chart and one to assist the child in identifying the characters.
-
Repeat the process with the other eye.
