Vision disorders are one of the most prevalent health problems children have, and in pre-schoolers, the majority are undetected. Left untreated, these disorders often lead to amblyopia ("lazy eye") -- the leading cause of monocular blindness in North Americans under 70.
That's why Welch Allyn created SureSight, the first objective, accurate vision test that ensures reliable early detection of refractive error, the primary vision disorder in children. Finally, a child-friendly vision test that's automatic, objective and takes just seconds.
- 5-second, automatic test addresses compliance problems and makes testing easier
- Lights and sounds engage the patient's attention
- Automatically measures and indicates abnormal readings -- no provider interpretation is required
- Operates at a non-threatening 14-inch (35 cm) distance
- Requires minimal cooperation, making it ideal for use on young children, the disabled and when there is a language barrier
- Screens for common vision problems, including near- and farsightedness (myopia/hyperopia), astigmatism (asymmetrical focus) and anisometropia (unequal power between eyes)
- Includes stand, charging transformer and lithium ion battery
