The UCVA and NCAR tests performed by vision-screening technicians are adequately sensitive and specific for preschool vision screening. The ROC curve analysis was used for determining the appropriate screening criteria for these tests, and combining the tests increased their accuracy. The screening criteria should be age dependent. When analyzing the test accuracy in ophthalmic problems, if the disease of interest does not symmetrically (in terms of disease severity and prevalence) involve both eyes, the prevalence based on only 1 eye should be interpreted with caution.
