The Hillrom / Welch Allyn Spot Vision Screener VS100S‑B is a handheld, portable, FDA‑cleared vision screening device engineered to quickly and objectively detect vision issues in patients as young as six months. Designed for pediatric practices, primary care, schools, and mobile screening programs, the VS100S‑B delivers fast, accurate, and non‑invasive binocular screening from a comfortable 3‑foot distance.
Using advanced photorefraction technology, the Spot Vision Screener automatically identifies six amblyopic risk factors—myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, anisometropia, strabismus, and anisocoria—in just seconds, without requiring verbal responses or patient cooperation.
The device’s bright LCD touchscreen provides instant, easy‑to‑interpret results, clearly indicating whether measurements are within range or if a full eye exam is recommended. Results can be exported via Wi‑Fi or USB, printed wirelessly, or integrated into EMR systems for seamless documentation.
Lights and sounds help engage children, improving capture success rates and reducing retests. The lightweight, ergonomic design and included carrying case make the VS100S‑B ideal for clinic rooms, school screenings, community outreach, and mobile programs.
