Results are instant and easy to communicateRecording 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” instantaneously. Results are stored and easy to mass export, while our one-page Vision Screening Summary reports are intuitive and help promote follow-up care to parents and guardians.

It’s time to experience that ‘wow’ momentTurn a tedious task into a fun experience for screeners 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.

It goes wherever you need it toSecuring 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.

In past years I alone screened students; it took four months! The Spot is fantastic—in just three days with the support of the Oregon LIONs, we screened 1,152 children including those with special needs.
