Plusoptix Vision Screening devices provide reliable measurement values of:

• Full refraction recording, i.e. sphere, cylinder, and axis for follow-up examination
• Pupil diameter and pupil distance
• Symmetry of corneal reflexes

With these measurement values it is possible to detect e.g. following most prevalent childhood vision disorders that may lead to the development of amblyopia (lazy eye) including:

• Hyperopia (farsightedness)
• Myopia (nearsightedness)
• Astigmatism (blurred vision)
• Anisometropia (unequal refractive power)
• Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)
• Strabismus (Eye misalignment)
• Media opacities (e.g. cataracts or corneal scars)

With the determined measurement values compared to age specific thresholds, a “Pass” or “Refer” vision screening result is displayed. Children with a “Refer” result need to be sent to an eye care professional for an eye examination.
