It is now possible to achieve pediatric vision testing in a school setting or in medical fairs thanks to revolutionary vision testing device known as the vision screener. This is a device that works in amazing manner and is able to capture several details from the eyes, perform measurement and compare them to predetermined data and give back results in a fraction of a second. It is now common in health fairs, preschools and grade schools, medical institutions and may also be available in hands of pediatricians and family doctors as it is not restricted to opticians only.
This important device is supported by a list of impressive testimonials resulting from validated studies which are qualified by positive reviews from the general medical profession and the public. It is so easy to use hence preferred by pediatricians, Lions club and school nurses. Given that the only necessary compliance is a short fixation of camera, this form of screening works for all children. The device works by producing a specially designed sound targeted to provoke the fixation.
The common features of this device includes its proven accuracy of screening results, ability to screen both of the eyes simultaneously and the fact that screening is actually performed in a distance of up to 3.3 feet or one meter away from the device. The process lasts for only 0.8 seconds after which either pass or refer screening results are displayed automatically as the test result. This allows for very easy use and interpretation. The user also enjoys variety of documentation options that are available.
This means that even non-medical staff can actually perform the screening. The person to perform screening starts by pulling the camera trigger to start; this is followed by a sound that is meant to attract attention. The image of both eyes is captured on a white triangle on the screen that then allows for performing the necessary measurements. The recommended screening distance is one meter (3.3 feet) from the camera. The tolerance level is +-5 centimeters or +-2 inches. The results are then displayed on the screen in a matter of seconds.
The measurements performed revolve around refraction size, the size of the pupil and the cornea reflexes. These are then compared with the data used for referral to determine if they are within the normal range or not and the PASS or REFERAL results is then generated. In order to diagnose anisometropia, the refractions of both of the eyes are compared and the deference compared with the standards reference.
In order to diagnose myopia, the nearsightedness is checked and farsightedness checked for hyperopia. The other checks that are done include comparison of pupil sizes for both eyes for anisocoria and determination of symmetric eye alignment for corneal reflexes. All these happen automatically in seconds hence the immediate results displayed on the screen.
A PASS displayed on the screen implies that all readings are within the recommended limit meaning that none of the conditions has been detected. In case of one or more of measurements or not within the limit, the result displayed is a REFER. Either a REFER or PASS is displayed on the screen as soon as the measurement is complete.
This can either be a PASS that indicates that all measurements are within the normal range and hence none of the conditions has been detected. In case any of the measurement is not within the normal range, a REFER is the result displayed and it requires visiting the optician.
