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.
For this reason, both the use and result interpretation is very easy and you can also take advantage of the documentation options that are available. The operational procedure for the device is very easy and takes less than one second for the display of results. It is for this reason that even non-medical staff finds it easy to conduct vision screening.
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.
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.
The comparison of refraction of the two eyes is done for anisometropia while astigmatism is diagnosed by determining the cornea irregularity. For myopia and hyperopia, the nearsightedness and farsightedness are determined respectively. Other conditions that can be detected include anisocoria through the comparison of the two pupil sizes corneal reflexes which requires that symmetric eye alignment is determined. All these are done automatically after which the result is displayed.
The results can be saved and printed in different formats thanks to an internal database. The database makes it possible to review the previous records in an organized or chronological order. In addition to this, the device is also cheaply available hence saves a lot of money and time that could be wasted in having to visit an optician.
