One in every four children suffers from a vision problem...
yet only 14 percent of children in the United States receive a comprehensive eye exam prior to entering the first grade.1 At highest risk is the three to five percent of pre-school children who have serious vision abnormalities that can lead to vision loss or blindness if not detected and treated early.2
With iScreen Vision digital vision screening technology, you can now simply and cost effectively provide regular, early vision screening for your infant, pre-school, and school-age patients as recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics.3
Easy to Use
Child-friendly, portable, and easily administered by staff, iScreen Vision is as simple to use as a digital camera and allows comprehensive vision screening anytime before, during, or after well-visit exams. No patient response is necessary, making iScreen Vision also ideal for pre-verbal, non-verbal, non-compliant, and developmentally-challenged patients.

Fast
iScreen Vision captures two digital images of the eyes in a fraction of a second and immediately displays them for user review. One keystroke transmits the data to iScreen Vision Central Analysis for clinical review by a trained technician. All results are returned within 24 hours - but typically much faster. In many cases, results are available before the patient leaves the office.
Cost Effective
iScreen Vision's incredibly low per-patient screening fee and minimal up-front cost brings a unique advantage to your practice by expanding patient services with very little initial investment. Our "per click" lease option bundles image-analysis and device lease costs into a low single fee for each image taken. iScreen Vision is eligible for insurance reimbursement with a Category I CPT Code 99174 (Ocular photoscreening with interpretation and report, bilateral). Just as important: iScreen's per-scan fee is so reasonable, even parents without guaranteed insurance reimbursement can elect iScreen Vision screening for their child.
