Welch Allyn SureSight Vision Screener

Welch Allyn SureSight Vision Screener

The Welch Allyn Suresight Vision Screener is reliable, early detector of vision problems. SureSight Vision Screener has embedded software that compares the test data to built-in referral criteria.

SureSight is an objective, accurate, affordable vision test that ensures reliable early detection of refractive error, the primary vision disorder in children. Early detection improves outcomes and reduces treatment duration. SureSight is a child-friendly, portable, affordable device that lets you test patients – including young children and adults – anytime, anywhere. Carry it from room to room, to your waiting area, even offsite.

SureSight Vision Screener provides “asterisk” (*) in child mode (to alert the practitioner to “outside of normal” results).

Child-friendly – SureSight Vision Screener’s lights and sounds engage the child’s attention.

Fast and efficient – Five-second, automatic test addresses compliance problems and makes testing easier—no more five-minute eye chart checks!

Objective – Automatically measures and indicates abnormal readings*—no provider interpretation is required. Addresses eye chart’s sensitivity and specificity problems.

Automatic and nonintrusive –  Screen with one-button touch from 14 inches (35 cm) away.

No patient response – Minimal cooperation is required, making it ideal for use with young children and when there is a language barrier.

Complete, precise refractive information – Automatically screens for common vision problems, including near- and farsightedness (myopia/hyperopia), astigmatism (asymmetrical focus), and anisometropia (unequal power between eyes).

Breakthrough technology – Welch Allyn’s proprietary technology ensures speed and accuracy, addressing problems associated with eye chart screening.
