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.
Among several other features, the vision screening device gives results with proven accuracy and screens both eye balls simultaneously. In addition to this, the screening is done at a distance of one meter away (3.3 feet) from the camera. It lasts for only 0.8 second and displays results automatically on the screen. This makes it very easy to use and interpret the results that can also be stored in a data base for later reference through the various documentation options 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.
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.
The diagnosis for astigmatism on the other hands depends on determination for cornea irregularities. For hyperopia and myopia, the farsightedness and nearsightedness are performed respectively. The pupil sizes are compared for anisocoria while the symmetry of eye alignment is necessary for the cornea reflex.
All the measurements are automatically performed followed by a PASS which indicates that all the measurements for all the conditions are within the normal range. In case one or more measurements does not fall within the normal range, the REFER measurement will be displayed.
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.
