For the
first time
a simple, fast and accurate screening technology is available to detect
ocular abnormalities in patients as young as 3 months of age. The
process is
simple, non-invasive, requires no drops for dilation, and is not
dependent on any response from the patient. It is the fastest and most
advanced system available, and results are over 90% accurate.
Approximately 5% of children will develop serious eye problems, yet as
few as 20% are screened. Most young children are seen by an eye care
specialist only when an obvious problem develops. In many cases, that's
too late.
Following
is the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation for childhood
vision screenings.
American Academy of Pediatrics
Policy Statement:
"Vision screening and eye examination are vital for the detection of
conditions that distort or suppress the normal visual image, which may
lead to inadequate school performance or, at worst, blindness in
children ... Vision screening should be performed for a child at the
earliest age that is practical, because a small child rarely complains
that one eye is not seeing properly."
The
new standard of care
Bringing a new level of patient care to your practice by detecting
vision disorders at a treatable age is what iScreen is all about. The
system is extremely
easy to use, can be operated by anyone, takes only minutes to
perform, and results are returned within 24 hours. You can then refer
the child to an eye care specialist for complete diagnosis and
treatment.
Benefits of iScreen:
Pictures are
available in seconds, so you can retake immediately if needed.
Sending
pictures electronically is fast and safe — no development time, no risk
of loss, no chemical usage, less paper.
The iScreen
Central Hub provides a hard-copy report and manages image and data
storage for you.
The iScreen
system is lightweight and portable. It can come to the patient — at
school or elsewhere — rather than having the patient come to it.
Digital
pictures don't deteriorate, so long-term storage and retrieval are
possible.
