“…Although our PPV is lower than has been reported in other studies, 4,6 these studies were performed in a population with a higher disease prevalence, which artificially raises the PPV from that of the general population. Our referral rate (27%) is both greater and less than that found in other reported programs.…”

“…The Plusoptix has been shown to be sensitive in detection of amblyopia risk factors in young children. 4,[6][7][8] The Plusoptix SO8 was used initially, followed by the model upgrade SO9. Modifications to the referral criteria were made according to screener-specific recommendations to maximize sensitivity and specificity in detection of refractive errors according to American Association for Pediatric Ophthalmology and Strabismus guidelines: Arthur modification 1 (anisometropia ≥ 1.5 D, hyperopia ≥ 3.5 D, myopia ≥ 3.0 D, astigmatism ≥ 2.0, anisocoria ≥ 1 mm).…”

Purpose:The Association for the Blind and Visually Impaired (ABVI) began the ReFocus on Children Program to assist school nurses in providing vision screening for at-risk children in the Charleston County School District in South Carolina. Methods:In 2012 to 2013, 2,750 low-income school children ages 3 to 5 years were screened using the Plusoptix Vision screener (Atlanta, GA). Further examinations were performed on 419 (56%) children referred and glasses prescribed and provided for 192 children (positive predictive value 46%). In 2013, teacher feedback questionnaires were sent to the 23 schools. Results:Teacher feedback questionnaires had a 49% response rate. Of teachers responding to the questionnaire, 70% reported the children liked wearing their glasses. Teachers provided observations of positive impact, including improved academic performance. Conclusions:Nurses appreciated that the entire process was efficient and completed in school, simplifying care and follow-up. The authors encourage partnerships between schools, nonprofit agencies, and healthcare providers to improve screening and access to comprehensive vision care for young children.

“…21 In two different studies of Matta et al, Plusoptix S04 was also reported as an effective screening tool, because it was found a useful tool for the detection of amblyopia risk factors and showed a high sensitivity of 98.9% and specificity of 96.1%. 12,22 Paff et al evaluated the performance of a hand held autorefractor and PlusoptiX S08 in measuring refractive errors as a vision screener by comparing them with cycloplegic retinoscopy (CR) of 200 children. When compared to CR, the PlusoptiX S08 showed a mean difference of -1.13 ± 1.25 D for spherical equivalent (SE) and -0.23±0.53 D for the cylinder; after cycloplegia -2.11±1.64 D for SE and -0.06±0.47 D for the cylinder were measured.…”

, Cemil Çolak 4ÖZET Amaç: Çocuklarda ve erişkinlerdeki refraksiyon kusuru ölçümünde, Plusoptix S08 ile standart bir oto refraktometre (Topcon RM 8000B) ölçümlerinin karşılaştırılması.Yöntemler: Yaş ortalaması 8.06 ± 2.89 yıl olan 110 çocu-ğun 220 gözü Plusoptix S08 ile sikloplejisiz olarak, Topcon RM-8000B otorefraktometresiyle sikloplejili olarak ölçüldü. Elde edilen değerler karşılaştırıldı. Ayrıca, yaş ortalaması 33,3 ± 13,4 olan 127 yetişkinin 254 gözü, Plusoptix S08 ve Topcon RM 8000B otorefraktometre ile sikloplejisiz olarak ölçülerek, bu ölçümlerin karşılaştırması yapıldı. Tüm ölçümler üç kez tekrarlandı. Ortalama sferik, silindirik, sferik ekivalan ve silindirik aks değerleri istatistiksel olarak karşılaştırıldı. Methods: 220 eyes of 110 children, with a mean age of 8.06 ± 2.89 years old were examined to compare noncycloplegic measurements provided by Plusoptix S08 and cycloplegic measurements provided by Topcon RM-8000B autorefractometer. In addition, 254 eyes of 127 adults, with a mean age of 33.3 ± 13.36 years old were examined to compare non-cycloplegic refractive measurements provided by Plusoptix S08 and Topcon RM 8000B autorefractometer. All measurements were repeated three times. Median sphere, cylinder, spherical equivalent and cylindrical axes as Jackson cross cylinder power measurements (J0 and J45) were compared statistically. Results Conclusion:Plusoptix S08 has a myopic misspelled according to Topcon-RM8000B autorefractometer in children. However, measurements provided with Plusoptix S08 were more hyperopic than those with Topcon RM-8000B autorefractometer in adults. J Clin Exp Invest 2013; 4 (1): 40-46

“…El instrumento PlusoptiX puede ser usado para facilitar tamizajes, aunque presente dificultades en condiciones de alta iluminación. Investigaciones anteriores han encontrado una sensibilidad y especificidad más alta, aunque en poblaciones en las que se sospecha que los ojos no eran, en su mayoría, de iris oscuro (Matta et al, 2008;Singman et al 2013). La evaluación adicional en condiciones más controladas debería mirar el efecto del color del iris en su exactitud.…”

“…Varios estudios han evaluado los instrumentos PlusoptiX y han encontrado sensibilidad y especificidad generalmente alta con el PlusoptiX (Matta et al, 2008;Singman et al, 2013). Sin embargo, estos estudios se han realizado en clínicas oftalmológicas pediátricas, lo cual indica que se efectuaron desde circunstancias controladas y con poblaciones de alta prevalencia de factores de riesgo de ambliopía.…”

Objetivo: comparar la prueba de tamizaje PlusoptiX con la retinoscopia bajo cicloplejia para la detección de defectos refractivos significativos en menores entre los 4 y 18 años. Métodos: el PlusoptiX se usó en una muestra de 220 menores en varias escuelas en Cartagena, donde se comparan los resultados con los de la retinoscopia bajo cicloplejia. Para el análisis estadístico se aplicó la prueba de diferencias para muestras relacionadas en el software SAS 9,4 con ≈ 0,05, a fin de comparar los valores de la mediana (Wilcoxon) y la distribución cumulativa (Kolgomorov-Smirnov) entre las dos técnicas. Se generaron los valores de concordancia nominal entre los rangos que clínicamente se consideraron importantes de ±0,50 y ±1,00 D. Asimismo, se calculó la sensibilidad y especificidad del instrumento PlusoptiX para detectar defectos refractivos significativos. Resultados: se detectó hipermetropía > +3,50 D en 4,5 %, miopía > –3,00 en 0,04 %, astigmatismo > –1,50 D en 15,9 %, anisometropía > 1,50 D en 3,2 %. La concordancia entre el PlusoptiX y la retinoscopia fue de ±0,50 en 34,7-41 % en los valores de esfera y de ±0,50 en 57,7-61,3 % en los valores de cilindro. La mejor sensibilidad fue de 72 %, con una especificidad de 61 %. Conclusiones: el PlusoptiX produjo resultados diferentes de la retinoscopia bajo cicloplejia. El instrumento PlusoptiX puede ser usado para facilitar tamizajes; sin embargo, debe prestarse atención a su baja sensibilidad y especificidad.
