The functional vision report documents observations and assessments of visual skills and includes the following: _eye reports from doctors, vision history, specific observations, visual acuity, and other medical information. The record copy becomes part of the student's academic file and is eventually microfilmed. This information serves as documentation of the student's vision at one point in time, especially in case of future disability. An administrative copy is held by the vision skills specialist. Parents may view this information but can only receive copies of eye reports from their doctors; school copies of eye reports are not official.
