All your Questions answered in one place

How does Pr3vent protect vision?
Vision is valuable, and Pr3vent's mission is to protect it - especially in newborns. Screening and early intervention are powerful tools, and hospitals working with Pr3vent make this available to parents. Even babies who appear healthy may suffer from conditions which carry the risk of serious and potentially permanent vision deficits. Most pathologies are associated with the back of the eye - the retina - and trained experts can identify them in images.
What is Pr3vent vision screening?
Is Pr3vent's procedure safe?
What other tests are available?
The only formalized newborn eye screening is the Red Reflex Exam (RRE), recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics. This test should be performed at every well child exam until age 18. Even though the RRE detects media opacities such as corneal scars, cataracts, pupillary seclusion, vitreous hemorrhage and retinoblastoma, it misses retina pathologies and has very low sensitivity.
When is your baby screened?
Screening occurs within 72 hours after birth of full term infants (at least 37 weeks in utero) and in the hospital where the baby is born.
Why screen seemingly healthy newborns?
What are inherited retina diseases?
