Those eye exams at school can pick up 'lazy eye' (amblyopia) but can also pick up myopia (near sightedness) too.

I used to volunteer at sons' preschool prior kindergarten entrance into school and do the exam with the kids. I told the parents the eye exam can pick up both problems but it takes an eye care professional to determine which problem it is (lazy eye vs. myopia).

No.  No.  And No.  I was in the 6th grade.  I told the Teacher that I could not see the board.  She told me over and over that "I just wanted to sit up front....."  I was with my Dad one day and asked him what does that sign say?  He says, you mean you can't see that?  Nope, I can't.  He asked me about school, and I told him what the Teacher said.  I had glasses the next week.  I remember being amazed at how clear everything was...

Yes, I remember being tested.  I remember scoliosis exams too.
