5 Ways Technology Can Improve Vision Screening at Your School

Managing annual vision screenings in your school can be a daunting task. Juggling schedules and training volunteers while ensuring your students receive a comprehensive and accurate screening comes with its challenges.

Here are the top 5 ways an instrument-based vision screener, like the Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener, can help improve vision screenings at your school.

3. It goes wherever you need it to

Securing a space and setting up a chart-based screening can be challenging. Spot Vision Screener is hand-held and portable, which allows you to be flexible and screen whenever and wherever.

4. Results are instant and easy to communicate

Recording results and preparing follow-up are arguably the most important and time-consuming parts of a school screening. Spot Vision Screener screens for six vision risk factors and will display “Complete Eye Exam Recommended” or “All Measurements in Range” within seconds. Results are stored on the device and can be mass exported. The Vision Screening Summary reports are one page, so information is easy to find, and any recommended follow-up care for parents and guardians is clearly stated.

5. It’s time to experience that ‘wow’ moment

Turn a tedious task into a fun experience for both the user of the device and students. Spot Vision Screener uses lights and chirping sounds to keep children engaged. And because the device captures a reading in seconds, you’ll keep the line moving quickly so students and teachers can get back to the classroom.
