New Tests to Screen Young Children Add to Extensive Product Line
Dallas, TX, Essilor Instruments today announced the launch of three stereotests including LEA Symbols, the Original Stereo Fly, Butterfly, and Randot®, by its Stereo Optical division. Stereo depth perception tests are an effective and easy-to-use method of screening stereoscopic vision for all ages. The three new stereotests including LEA Symbols are designed to screen the vision of young children and supplement the existing extensive Stereo Optical product line.
Lea Hyvarinen, MD, created the LEA Symbols® in 1976. Dr. Hyvarinen designed the circle, square, apple, and house so that each symbol measured visual acuity similarly. Numerous professional associations, including the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Ophthalmology, have recommended LEA Symbols as vision screening tests for young children in a policy statement.
“Stereo tests help to detect visual problems such as stereopsis, amblyopia, suppression and strabismus. We are thrilled that Dr. Lea trusts the reputation of Stereo Optical and the quality of our products to grant us the license for production of these new stereo tests for young children,” said Samy Lauriette, Senior Vice President, Essilor Instruments Americas.

Stereo Optical Adds New Tests to Its All-in-One Digital Vision Screener
OPTEC PLUS enables even more comprehensive pre-testing
Stereo Optical, a division of Essilor Instruments, has released new tests for OPTEC® PLUS. OPTEC PLUS is a smart vision screener that includes an extensive library of tests administered with a user-friendly interface in a single machine. The glare recovery test and existing tests under the new glare condition have now been added to the software. They are useful for quantifying vision loss under the glare condition caused by cataracts or a corneal scar. These tests may now be integrated into customized protocols to allow for even more comprehensive pre-testing to improve practice flow.
“Since its introduction late 2016, OPTEC PLUS has been very well-received by professionals performing vision screening. This portable digital device lets ECPs better gauge patients’ visual performance and enhances the patient experience and practice perception. With even more functionality, we feel that OPTEC PLUS will change the way people think about vision screening to include comprehensive pre-testing for specific patient types,” said Damien Rousseau, CEO of Essilor Instruments USA.
