2020 Evaluation of Portable Vision Screening Instruments

Yale J Biol Med. 2021 Mar 31;94(1):107-114. eCollection 2021 Mar.ABSTRACTAmblyopia is the most common cause of preventable visual impairment in children and occurs as a result of unilateral or bilateral impairment in best-corrected visual acuity. Early diagnosis and proper treatment are crucial to prevent poor visual outcomes in adulthood. Advances in technology have provided more objective diagnostic tools, which can now be used by a wide range of healthcare providers. Here, we highlight tools that have gained popularity in the past two decades and compare clinically relevant parameters to guide primary care providers seeking to incorporate instrumental vision screening in pediatric patient care.PMID:33795987 | PMC:PMC7995935
