Comparison of photoscreening and autorefractive screening for the detection of amblyopia risk factors in children under 3 years of age
Journal of AAPOS Jan 16, 2020
Kara C, et al. - In a cohort of preterm and term-born children < 3 years of age, researchers tested the efficacy of photoscreening and autorefractive screening for the detection of amblyopia risk factors (ARFs). They used the Spot Vision photoscreener and the SureSight autorefractor to screen candidates. A total of 368 individuals (mean age was 14.4 ± 10.4 months) were involved in this cross-sectional study. According to the 2013 AAPOS criteria, the ARF rate was 25%. Findings revealed that photoscreening with the Spot Vision manufacturer criteria, with high specificity values (0.91), appeared sufficient for vision screening in the 0-3 years age group. The Rowatt criteria can enhance SureSight's performance in this age group.
