Benefits of an Early Eye Screening

  • Convenient for busy parents

  • No child left unchecked

  • All ages can be tested, babies too!
  • Early detection of visual problems equals vital early intervention!

What Can This Eye Screening Detect?

  • Media Opacity (e.g. cataracts)
  • Hyperopia (farsightedness)
  • Myopia (nearsightedness)
  • Astigmatism (blurred vision)
  • Strabismus (eye misalignment)
  • Anisometropia (Unequal refractive power)
  • Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)

What About The Screening Process?

  • Trained PlusoptiX technicians use the PlusoptiX S12C Mobile Vision Screener that provides an accurate result using infrared light.
  • The screening is quick, accurate, non-invasive and entirely safe. It requires far less attention and involvement from a child compared to traditional screening tests.
  • The test is done at a 1-meter distance, which means that the PlusoptiX early vision screening is entirely compliant with Covid-19 phyical distancing regulation.
  • Children with a ‘refer’ result will need to undergo a comprehensive eye examination by an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist – preferably specialising in paediatric vision. A copy of the results will be provided to all children after successful payment.

We are looking forward to hearing from you!
