Abstract. The study presents the organization and implementation of vision screening in the primary school “Bacho Kiro”, Veliko Tarnovo. Screening is used as a tool of identifying so far unrecognized eye problems that affect children's vision, and with it, the opportunity for quality training and comprehensive education, as well as future professional guidance. At the same time it was carried out as a practice of students from the specialty “Optometry”, at the Physical Faculty of Sofia University “St. Kliment Ohridski”, as well as a STEAM-based approach, part of the training of pupils in the natural sciences. As a result of the event, an opportunity was provided to take timely measures for the prevention of eye health, for full neuropsychological development, educational progress and adequate professional guidance in the future.
