To report the results of the W.H.E.E.L.S. Prevent Blindness Mid-Atlantic vision screening program that targets preschoolers using the Plusoptix Photoscreener (Plusoptix Inc., Nuremburg, Germany). <jats:italic>Methods<\/jats:italic>. Trained program staff members conducted vision screenings at up to 113 preschool programs in the Richmond metropolitan area for four consecutive years; a cross-sectional analysis was performed. <jats:italic>Results and Discussion<\/jats:italic>. From September 2010 to March 2014, 15,075 preschoolers have been offered a free vision screening; 12,402 (82%) have been screened. A total of 3,018 (24%) have failed the screening and were recommended to follow up with an eye care specialist for a comprehensive examination; only 30% reported complying. Significant refractive errors were more frequently the cause for a failed screening. <jats:italic>Conclusions<\/jats:italic>. The W.H.E.E.L.S. program has identified a high number of preschoolers with significant amblyopic risk factors that were previously unknown to be present. Undesirably low follow-up reporting outcomes from children who fail a vision screening examination were consistent with other reports. Nevertheless, having a mobile vision screening program that uses photoscreening technology in targeting children prior to school entry is an efficient and cost-effective way to detect vision disorders in a timely manner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2014\/793546","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,2]],"date-time":"2014-07-02T08:55:38Z","timestamp":1404291338000},"page":"1-4","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["The W.H.E.E.L.S.
