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.
With solid scientific background and support from several studies and testimonials published in medical journals, this is a device that has gain favor with several medical professionals, government agencies and non-governmental organizations alike. Currently, it is used by nurses in schools, pediatricians, opticians, members of the Lions club and many other professionals. The only required compliance is the camera fixation and there is a specially designed sound to achieve by provoking fixation.
The only required compliance is a short camera fixation. It has high level of accuracy and the results can be fully trusted. It is also able to screen two eyes all at once and the distance required for screening is about one meter or 3.3 feet from the camera. After just 0.8 seconds, the (PASS or REFER) results can be displayed on the screen automatically.
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.
Once the patient or a person to be screened is at the right distance from the camera; the operator then pulls the trigger which is followed by a unique sound used to help the patient focus at the device. The images of both eyes are then captured on a white screen after which the measurements of various parts are done automatically.
There are several conditions that are detected after the performance of a number of measurements and tests which revolve around measuring and comparing the sizes of cornea reflexes, the pupil size and the refraction size. These data is then compared to predetermined data used for referral.
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.
