Welch Allyn
Spot Vision Screener
The Spot Vision Screener is a handheld, portable, ocular screening device designed to help quickly1 and easily detect amblyopia vision issues on patients as young as six months.5
Get results in seconds. Automatically capture an image from a non-invasive, three-foot distance using the fixation target and sounds that help keep a child’s focus. A bright touchscreen displays instant results, indicating whether measurements are in range, or a complete eye exam is recommended.
Results are easy to interpret and share with parents and eye care specialists. The portable pediatric vision screener is perfect for schools and community vision screenings. Prepare for busy screening days by easily importing screening subjects to your queue via wireless connection* or USB drive.
*Via API agreement.
