Precision: Early image-based expert assessment provides precision. Since images show more of the retina and can be examined carefully without burdening the baby, experts can deliver accurate assessments
01
For the Advanced Eye Screening for infants we dilate the baby's pupils, to ensure that the entire retina can be imaged. Images with dilation capture much more of the retina than the Red Reflex test.

Imaging
A pediatric retina camera captures retinal images. This simple procedure - performed by train photographers - delivers high-resolution images to the expert graders.

Referral Recommendation
Images of the baby's retina are carefully examined by experts at top institutions including Stanford University. The exam result can have 3 possible outcomes:
-
The baby's vision is healthy, no referral is needed;
-
​Abnormality is detected and the baby requires medical monitoring;
-
Treatment is required, which may be surgery, laser or medication.
Advanced Newborn Eye Screening and benefits
The Advanced Newborn Eye Screening is an exam for newborns that aims to detect eye diseases early and allow intervention and possible treatment, ensuring greater child eye health for the population.
Diseases such as Retinoblastoma, Congenital Cataracts, Infections, hemorrhages and other eye diseases can be identified through our examination, which has the best technology and the best specialists in Pediatric Ophthalmology in the country. In addition, we have technical support from Stanford University, ensuring a better assessment of babies' retinas.
The Advanced Newborn Eye Screening is recommended for newborns and has an advantage over the Red Reflex Test as it has a greater amplitude of the baby's retinal image.
