Vision Screener is a handheld, portable device
designed to help users quickly and accurately detect
vision issues on patients from 6 months of age
through adults.
Vision disability is the single most prevalent disabling condition among children.
1
Failing to detect and
treat vision disorders in children may lead to partial or full blindness, and may result in issues with child
development, academic achievement, self-esteem, social-emotional behavior, and juvenile delinquency.
2
Children up to age 2 should have their vision screened during regular pediatric visits and then every year
or two through age 19.
3
Conducting vision screening on young children or uncooperative
patients can be time-consuming and frustrating for medical sta.
Vision charts are time-intensive and can be subjective.
The AAP recommends instrument-based vision screening as an
alternative to screening with vision charts for 3- to 5-year-olds.
The AAP also states that instruments may be electively used on
6-month-olds to 3-year-olds as well as with older children who are
unable or unwilling to cooperate with routine vision screening.
