#A PILOT STUDY EYESPY PATCH#

The use of EyeSpy with an occlusive patch outperformed EyeSpy with dissociative glasses.Ĭopyright (c) 2010 American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus. The 2 results concurred in 63 (87.5%) of 72 subjects.ĮyeSpy software has potential for use as a vision-screening device. EyeSpy screening results using a patch were not significantly different than those of a professional examination (p = 0.508). The sensitivity, specificity, and conventional positive likelihood ratio were 88%, 87%, and 6.8 when EyeSpy was used with a patch 88%, 74%, and 3.44 when EyeSpy was used with goggles and 88%, 94%, and 13.79 for EVA/stereospsis, respectively, compared with the gold-standard professional eye examination. Prevalence of visual impairment was 25 (34.7%) of 72 as reported by the professional examination. The order of presentation of the EVA and EyeSpy assessments was assigned randomly. The average age of 72 subjects was 11.4 +/- 2.2 years. MethodsIn this pilot study, all children were tested using EyeSpy, an ETDRS EVA tester/ stereopsis, and examined (including cycloplegic refraction) by a pediatric ophthalmologist. Similar threshold values were used in the EVA/stereopsis testing. EyeSpy registered pass or refer results for visual acuity testing at a threshold of 20/32 visual acuity and stereopsis of 300 arcsec. The EyeSpy test was performed twice (with an occlusive eyepatch and red-blue dissociative goggles). In this pilot study, all children were tested with an EyeSpy and ETDRS EVA tester, followed by ocular examination including stereopsis assessment and cyclopegic refraction. but found game 6 (the eye spy game) very easy. EyeSpy software has potential for use as a vision-screening device. Because this pilot-study is the first of its kind there are a number of lessons that were learnt during. We also compared combined results of an electronic visual acuity (EVA) tester and stereopsis testing to the results of a professional eye examination. In this pilot study, all children were tested with an EyeSpy and ETDRS EVA tester. To compare the vision-screening results of school-aged children tested with EyeSpy software and those of children examined by a pediatric ophthalmologist.
