How do you know if the world is blurry to a young child?
Children needing vision correction rarely complain of symptoms. Visual acuity charts are easy to use but have limitations for young children. GoCheck Kids photoscreener is the only one built around a smartphone, may qualify for both photoscreening procedure codes, and performs photoscreening to identify amblyopia risk factors in children 1 to 6 years old.
Check Kids’ Vision Before They Can Read An Eye Chart
The American Academy of Pediatrics vision screening policies recommend instrument-based screening as early as 12 months with photoscreening being the most common type.
At Under A Minute, It’s Faster Than Visual Acuity Chart Testing.
And it takes place at a shorter distance, ideal for exam rooms. It’s not invasive, and no dilation is necessary. It’s as easy as taking a photo with a flash.
The GoCheck Kids photoscreener is the only one built around a smartphone. Our software evaluates the image’s light reflection pattern and scores for different risk factors. The pediatrician decides whether to refer the child for a comprehensive eye exam.
