Brayden Wertz, 3, looked apprehensive as he was led into a small room near his classroom at Southminster Nursery School, where three volunteers sat waiting to test his vision. But he warmed up pretty quickly after the women started to play "eye games" with him, even smiling and giggling as he answered questions about pictures and letters hanging on the wall.
While Brayden thought he was playing games by naming colors and letters and objects, the volunteers were actually tracking Brayden's eye movements and scoring his answers to determine whether he passed their tests for acuity, color blindness and muscle coordination.
The volunteers are PTA members from the Mt. Lebanon schools who for more than 30 years have performed free annual vision screenings at the community's preschools even though the PTAs do not serve the preschools.
