KidSight using the PlusOptix vision screener is really easy. CLICK HERE to view a video on using the PlusOptix. It is almost as easy as using a cell phone camera.
KidSight screens for the following:
Hyperopia – “Far-sightedness” is the difficulty seeing objects that are near. Untreated this can contribute to “crossing of the eyes” but can be corrected with glasses.
Myopia – “Near-sightedness” is when the eyes focus incorrectly, making distant objects appear blurred. It can be treated with glasses.
Astigmatism- A condition in which the cornea has an abnormal curve causing out-of-focus vision.
Anisometropia – This condition can adversely affect the development of binocular vision in infants and children. The brain will often suppress the vision of the blurrier eye in a condition called Amblyopia or “lazy eye.”
Strabismus – Eyes are not directed to an object simultaneously. Sometimes the eyes deviate outward and sometimes inward.
