New eye screening tool in the office

Our office is trying out a new screening tool.
The iscreen can test children as young as one year old for the following issues:
Near sightedness
Ambliopia
Far sightedness
alignment problems
unequal focusing
Abnormal curve of the cornea
unequal pupil size
cataracts

Just like a digital camera the Iscreen vision captures dual images of your child's eyes in seconds.
Images are reviewed by trained technicians and results are sent to the office before you leave.

This is covered by most PPO insurances
If you are an HMO or self pay the cost of the test is $40.

If you are interested in getting this done, ask your doc the next time you are in the office!
