Instrument-based
vision screeners detect vision disorders before your child can say A-B-C
One in 20 children are at risk for permanent vision loss due
to vision disorders. While 80% of vision disorders can be prevented and
treated, the challenge is to detect risk factors early enough – as early as 12
months old – when most pediatric
patients cannot read an eye chart.
A new photo screening instrument now in every ARC clinic
with a Pediatric specialty, can detect abnormalities like amblyopia, when the brain
fails to process inputs from both eyes and, over time, favors one eye over the
other, leading to a lifelong deficit in binocular vision.
The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends
instrument-based vision screening for the risk factors of amblyiopia that can
contribute to early learning difficulty and lead to permanent vision loss as an
adult. Risk factors include:
- eye misalignment
- abnormal eye shape
- near and far sightedness
- unequal vision between the eyes
Patients identified as at-risk can be referred to an
ophthalmology specialist who can administer a complete eye exam and determine a
treatment plan. Screening can be done as early as 12 months of age through 5
years of age.
