Amblyopia
Affects 1-3% of the population
Is the most common cause of unilateral blindness in adults1
Amblyopia is treatable
Glasses
Patching
Atropine penalization

Program
2010-2012 Pilot Program Funded by First 5 Riverside
2015-Present Funded by Cheng Family Foundation
In partnership with Lions KidsSight
Our Mission
Promoting vision development in children ages 6 months to 6 years
Providing free vision screening
Connecting parents to a network of informed caregivers
Provide parents and caregivers with resources
Improving access to vision care for children.

Research Focus on Access to Care
Phone Follow up After Vision Screening
Geoinformatics for driving distances to care
Geoinformatics for targeting at risk children
How can repeat screening improve screening sensitivity and specificity?

Conclusions:
Astigmatism readings prompting referral with the SPOT
photoscreener are stable between annual screenings.
Compliance with follow up should be emphasized in children
with cylindrical error who fail repeat vision screening
Improving follow up after vision
screening
Phone call data
Connect family to a child-friendly provider in their local community
Optometrists to evaluate for glasses and pathology
Pediatric Ophthalmologists as needed

How to Promote a Child-Friendly Culture
of Vision Care in our Area?
GeoInformatics software
ARCGIS (ESRI Redlands, CA)

What is Geoinformatics?
“Geoinformatics might be referred to the academic discipline or career of
working with geo-data for better understanding and interpretation of human
interaction” –IGI Global
Access to Pediatric Eye Care Following
Vision Screening
Screening sites from our database
Logged distances to nearest participating optometrist
Logged distances to nearest pediatric ophthalmologist
Analyzed Driving Distances Using Open Street Map (ESRI Redlands, CA)
Coordinated with Socioeconomic and Population data from 2010 Census using
ArcGis (EsRI Redlands, CA)
Driving Distance Map
Driving Times
Driving Time Access to Care
Public Transportation
Conclusions
5 minutes to nearest optometrist
25 minutes to nearest pediatric ophthalmologist

What is on the Horizon?
Smart-Phone based Vision Screening
Go Check Kids (Gobiquity Inc. Aliso Viejo, CA)
Specially adapted I phone with appropriate lens/light to evaluate red reflex

No Screening for Astigmatism
No downloading mass data
A Dream for the Future
Parents Understand Amblyopia like Bike Helmets!
Conclusions
Community-based photoscreening is an efficient way to reach children
Educating parents regarding the importance of follow up may require several
phone calls
Most of the communities in our area have providers close to screening sites.
Follow-up with providers in the local community helps at-risk children to
develop a relationship with a provider near their home
Geoinformatics is a tool that can help screening programs to reach the most
vulnerable children efficiently
