Amblyopia and Strabismus Testing in Pediatrics
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Pediatric Vision Scanning device and Reference examination for Amblyopia and Strabismus. Completed, enrolled 318 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Amblyopia ("lazy eye") and strabismus (misaligned eyes) are medical eye conditions that combine as the leading causes of preventable vision loss in children. They are irreversible if not detected and corrected by the age of seven, however half of all cases are missed because the conditions do not always manifest themselves and pediatricians are unable to reliably detect the conditions. The current health care system badly needs an accurate and effective approach toward detecting amblyopia and strabismus in preschool children. The study will be conducted in busy, ethnically and racially diverse primary care sites operated by the Kaiser Permanente system and compare the outcomes of testing with a Pediatric Vision Scanner with outcomes the current standard of care.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
The Pediatric Vision Scanner (PVS) performs a 3-second, non-invasive scan of both eyes simultaneously while a child looks at a single target. The scan will measure the frequency of the light waves that reflect off of the participants' eyes to determine the fixation state of the eye.
Reference examination of the eyes will be performed by a fellowship-trained pediatric ophthalmologist.
