Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

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.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Normal Controls

Structurally normal eye with equal visual acuity and normal stereopsis.

Pediatric Vision Scanner

Intervention Type DEVICE

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.

Pediatric Vision Scanner

Intervention Type DEVICE

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.
