Amblyopia and Strabismus Testing in Pediatrics
Amblyopia ("lazy eye") and strabismus (misaligned eyes) are medical eye conditions that
combine as the leading causes of preventable vision loss in children. They are irreversible
if not detected and corrected by the age of seven, however half of all cases are missed
because the conditions do not always manifest themselves and pediatricians are unable to
reliably detect the conditions. The current health care system badly needs an accurate and
effective approach toward detecting amblyopia and strabismus in preschool children.
The study will be conducted in busy, ethnically and racially diverse primary care sites
operated by the Kaiser Permanente system and compare the outcomes of testing with a Pediatric
Vision Scanner with outcomes the current standard of care.
