ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking to test a special device called a photorefraction screener, which helps identify vision problems in children aged 3 to 8 years. The main goal is to see how well this device works compared to a standard tool used by eye doctors, known as a tabletop refractometer. The study will measure how accurately the screener can detect different types of vision issues, such as nearsightedness (myopia) and astigmatism, in children, whether they wear glasses or not.

To participate in this study, children must be between 3 and 8 years old and have the ability to follow instructions during the testing. They can have any skin type and do not need to wear glasses to be eligible. However, children who are currently undergoing treatments for myopia or have certain eye conditions may not be able to join. The trial will take place during a single visit, where participants will undergo various tests to evaluate their vision. It’s a great opportunity to help researchers learn more about improving vision screening for young children.
