Amblyopia and Strabismus Detection Using a Pediatric Vision Scanner

April 11, 2018 updated by: Rebiscan, Inc.

Pediatric Vision Scanner 4 (PVS4)

The purpose of this project is to compare the performance of the Pediatric Vision Scanner (PVS) with the Gold Standard Examination to determine the effectiveness of the PVS at detecting amblyopia and strabismus.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Normal Controls
Structurally normal eye with equal visual acuity and normal stereopsis.
Subject is scanned with a 2.5 second pediatric vision scanner device test.
Referral required

Diagnosed with amblyopia or constant strabismus, categorized based on the GSE.

Amblyopia:

  • VA <20/40 and 2 logMAR lines difference in normal eye
  • Mild amblyopia (>20/40)
  • Moderate amblyopia (20/40 and <20/100)
  • Severe amblyopia (≥20/100 or worse)
  • Bilateral amblyopia: >4 years age VA<20/40 OU including high hyperopia or high astigmatism.

Strabismus:

  • Constant: >2 PD at near and or distance.
  • Intermittent: strabismus that could be controlled intermittently either through fusional mechanisms or a compensatory head position.

Amblyogenic factor categorization:

  • 'Anisometropia'- (1.5 Diopters (D) or more difference in refractive error between the two eyes.
  • 'hypermetropia' (≥3.5 D),
  • 'myopia' (≥-4.0 D),
  • 'astigmatism' (≥1.5 D).
  • 'structural abnormalities' of the eye will not be excluded, but will be considered to have vision loss if visual acuity is 20/40 or worse.
Subject is scanned with a 2.5 second pediatric vision scanner device test.
Borderline
(no long-term harm to patient if referral is delayed, however the patient does have conditions that might benefit from monitoring): Equal visual acuity and no structural abnormality with any of the following: Amblyogenic factor, intermittent strabismus, structural abnormalities, refractive error, reduced stereopsis.
Subject is scanned with a 2.5 second pediatric vision scanner device test.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Measure Description
Time Frame
Presence of amblyopia risk factors
Time Frame: Day 1

'Anisometropia'- (1.5 Diopters (D) or more difference in refractive error between the two eyes.

'hypermetropia' (≥3.5 D), 'myopia' (≥-4.0 D), 'astigmatism' (≥1.5 D). 'structural abnormalities' of the eye will not be excluded, but will be considered to have vision loss if visual acuity is 20/40 or worse.
