Vision Exam:
The State of New Jersey requires that a vision exam and vision exam results be documented on the Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Form. Please make sure your physician completes a vision exam and documents the results on the form. If your child sees an eye doctor/eye professional instead and has an exam elsewhere, that eye examiner must document the vision exam results on office stationary and you should attach it to the Athletic Pre-Participation Physical Form. You may use the Vision Exam Results Form here if you need to attach results from an eye specialist.
