Pediatric vision testing is normally recommended with the intention of detecting disorders early enough. The common disorders include amblyopia, misaligned eyes (strabismus) and refractive errors that may call for eye glasses. The most commonly used approaches include community settings such as schools, health fairs, or in medical institutions. Vision screener is the most important medical device that has made this form of testing so cheaply and easily accessible.
The devices enjoys support from published testimonials and findings in medical journals majority of which are validated and have been commissioned by renown medical professionals. The public on the other hands have added their support in praising the level of efficiency and importance of these devices. There are used by school nurses, pediatricians, opticians and Lions club because they are very easy to use. In fact, one does not need any medical background to use one and interpret the results.
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 simplicity in operation makes it possible for any ordinary person with no training to be able to perform the screening. When the person to be screened is in the correct position, the device trigger is pulled. This result to a unique sound that helps achieve fixation after which the images of eye balls are captured on a white triangle on the screen. Several measurements then follows after which the results can be displayed. The tolerance level is set at +-2 inches or +-5 centimeters.
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.
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.
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.
These results can be saved as the device has an internal database. These can be displayed later on and for many patients in a chronological order helping in data manipulation and other uses. It eliminates the need for visiting an optician when unnecessary yet ensures that you have opportunity to seek help at the earliest sign of eye condition problem.
