A pilot study evaluating the use of EyeSpy video game software to perform vision screening in school-aged children.

Purpose: To compare the vision-screening results of school-aged children tested with EyeSpy software and those of children examined by a pediatric ophthalmologist. We also compared combined results of an electronic visual acuity (EVA) tester and stereopsis testing to the results of a professional eye examination.

Methods: In this pilot study, all children were tested with an EyeSpy and ETDRS EVA tester, followed by ocular examination including stereopsis assessment and cyclopegic refraction.

Retinopathy of prematurity in extremely premature infants.

Introduction: The incidence and severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely premature infants have not been reported since publication of the Early Treatment of ROP study results. The survival rate of these infants continues to increase. We sought to determine the characteristics of ROP in a group of surviving infants <25 weeks estimated gestational age (EGA) at birth compared to a group 25 to 27 weeks EGA at birth.
