Transitioning to a Flexible, Tiered, Developmentally Informed Same‐Day Screening Model for Preschoolers in Low‐Resource Settings

Child: Care, Health and Development, Volume 52, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The preschool years (ages 3–5) represent a critical window for promoting development and lifelong health. However, in many low‐resource settings, developmental delays, sensory impairments and emerging health risks often go undetected.

Assesment of the QuickSee wavefront autorefractor for characterizing refractive errors in school-age children.

PLoS ONE, 2020
PurposeTo assess the performance of an open-view binocular handheld aberrometer (QuickSee) for diagnosing refractive errors in children.Methods123 school-age children (9.9 ± 3.3 years) with moderate refractive error underwent autorefraction (AR) with a ...

Comparison of ocular accommodation throughout the day in children using 0.05% low‐dose atropine versus controls: A pilot study

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose The purpose of this pilot study was to assess the effect of 0.05% low‐dose atropine on ocular accommodation (amplitude and accuracy) and how its effect changed throughout the day. Methods Sixteen children aged 6–16 years using 0.05% atropine and 16 controls not using atropine were enrolled.

Feasibility and accuracy of school‐led vision screening in primary and secondary school students within the United Kingdom

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Vision screening occurs once in United Kingdom (UK) children on school entry, but has recently been withdrawn in some areas. Consequently, significant refractive error and/or vision problems may go undetected. School‐led vision checking, where school staff assess vision, is increasingly advocated by the International Agency for the ...

Attention to text and pictures during storybook reading in preschool children with moderate hyperopia

Optometry and Vision Science, Volume 103, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Uncorrected, moderate hyperopia has been associated with poor emergent literacy skills. However, the eye movements of preschoolers have not yet been used to determine how well young, hyperopic children attend to text and pictures during storybook reading compared to emmetropic children.

Agreement and Repeatability of Noncycloplegic and Cycloplegic Wavefront‐based Autorefraction in Children

Optometry and Vision Science, 2019
SIGNIFICANCE Increasing prevalence of refractive error requires assessment of ametropia as a screening tool in children. If cycloplegia is not an option, knowledge about the increase in uncertainty for wavefront‐based autorefraction is needed.

Retinal Peripheral Defocus and Peripheral Refractive Measurement Techniques: A Review

Journal of Ophthalmology, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
The theory of retinal peripheral defocus currently represents the prevailing paradigm for myopia prevention and control. Research studies on peripheral refraction indicate that peripheral defocus is significantly associated with the management and progression of myopia.

Enormous unique range autorefraction for tracking

, 2020
Wavefront detecting with a slim diffuser has developed as a potential minimal effort option in contrast to a lenslet exhibit for aberrometry. Diffuser wavefront sensors (DWS) have recently depended on following dot removal and thus require intelligent brightening. Here we show that removal of harsh examples can be followed for assessing wavefront angle,
