LAKE MARY, FL--(Marketwire - February 23, 2009) -
PediaVision today announced it will
demonstrate its state-of-the-art PediaVision Assessment Solution (PAS) at
the Future of Pediatrics Conference Feb. 27 - March 1 in Anaheim, CA. The
PAS is a revolutionary vision screening solution that assists Pediatricians
in the detection of refractive errors, amblyopia, strabismus, anisocoria,
and media opacities. Made publicly available in October 2008, the
PediaVision Assessment Solution is already in use in 15 states and growing
rapidly.
With the overall goal of improving child and adolescent health, the Future
of Pediatrics Conference is an American Academy of Pediatrics
(AAP)/American College of Osteopathic Pediatricians (ACOP) conference that
brings together Pediatricians from around the world to learn current
information on clinical and practice management topics. The conference
focuses on strategies to advance medical homes and build partnerships
within communities.
PediaVision will demonstrate the PediaVision Assessment Solution (PAS) at
exhibit # 10 during the conference.
The only binocular vision screening device that produces highly accurate,
immediate results, the PediaVision Assessment Solution (PAS) is effective
for screening children of any age, especially pre-verbal children. The
software produces a recommendation as to whether or not a subject should be
referred to an eye care specialist.
"The PediaVision system, powered by Plusoptix, is a fast and child-friendly
system. The computer allows the user to upgrade referral criteria as
needed and facilitates future exams for patients within a pediatric
practice. Parents love the immediate, sophisticated results. The computer
interpretations assist follow-up doctors in determining correct therapy for
the referred patients," said Robert Arnold, MD of the Alaska Blind Child
Discovery Program and member of the Vision Screen Committee for the
American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus (AAPOS).
"Parents look to their Pediatrician for early health assessments and trust
their physician to thoroughly evaluate and identify any problems from
birth," PediaVision's CEO David Melnik added. "Pediatricians now have the
tool they need for highly accurate, early vision assessment."
