In many medical cases we always hear how early detection is vital to successful treatment. This can be especially true in children whose bodies in some cases can adapt to change better than when they’re older. However doctors are caught in a catch 22 with cases of amblyopia (“lazy eye”) and strabismus (misaligned eyes). The two conditions can be successfully treated if discovered early. However most symptoms don’t appear until it’s usually too late. The other problem is an overabundance of false referrals because precautious doctors. But this causes unnecessary medical bills. After years of development and clinical trials, accurate early detection is now available. Dr. David Hunter and his company REBIScan have created the Pediatric Vision Scanner (PVS). A portable device that can quickly diagnose early childhood vision problems.
