Welch Allyn
Spot Vision Screener

The Spot Vision Screener is a handheld, portable, ocular screening device designed to help quickly  and easily detect amblyopic risk factors on pre-school and school-age children.

Get results in seconds during school or community screening events. Automatically capture an image from a non-invasive, three-foot distance using the fixation target and sounds that help keep a child’s focus. A bright touchscreen displays instant results, indicating whether measurements are in range, or a complete eye exam is recommended.

Results are easy to interpret for school personnel or volunteers to share with parents. The portable pediatric vision screener is perfect for schools and community vision screenings. Prepare for busy screening days by easily importing screening subjects to your queue via wireless connection or USB drive.

  • Minimal training required

  • Captivating lights and sounds help engage children for a more efficient pediatric vision screening experience
  • Portable vision screener holds adequate power for mass screening events
