Vision problems are common among children, with 19 million worldwide living with a vision disorder.1 Oftentimes, vision disorders have no noticeable symptoms,2 and as a result, children may not realize they see the world differently than others.3 Unfortunately, according to the National Survey of Children’s Health, 2016-2017, only one in three children in the U.S. has received eye care services before the age of six.4
Healthcare providers need to be equipped with the right technology to help eradicate preventable blindness in children. Vision screening is an efficient and cost-effective method that can help identify children who have, or are at risk for, developing vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, anisometropia, strabismus, and anisocoria.5
