The Plusoptix Vision Screening devices empower primary health care providers to detect the most prevalent vision disorders in children.

The purpose of the Plusoptix Vision Screening devices are to empower primary health care providers to detect the most prevalent vision disorders in children as early as possible. The earlier a vision disorder is detected the better it can be treated. Eye screening is intended to detect visual disorders including Amblyopia or lazy eye. Many visual disorders – in particular, Amblyopia – if not detected and treated during the first years of life, can lead to permanent visual impairment, which neither glasses or any other visual aid can address. Ordinary eye tests or visual acuity tests can only be administered when the child is able to speak. PlusOptix is a binocular handheld autorefractor designed for babies, children, and uncooperative patients. Plusoptix devices deliver outstanding measurement accuracy, as well as highest product quality marking it with the seal of quality “Made in Germany”. PlusOptix Vision Screening devices provide reliable measurement values of:

-Refraction (spherical equivalent)
-Pupil diameter and pupil distance
-Symmetry of corneal reflexes

With these measurement values it is possible to detect e.g. following most prevalent childhood vision disorders that may lead to the development of amblyopia (lazy eye) including:

-Hyperopia (farsightedness)
-Myopia (nearsightedness)
-Astigmatism (blurred vision)
-Anisometropia (unequal refractive power)
-Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)
-Strabismus (Eye misalignment)

The measuring principle is based on eccentric photoretinoscopy. Infrared light is projected through the pupils onto the retina. Depending on the refractive error, the reflected light forms a specific brightness pattern within the pupil. The spherical refraction is calculated based on this crescent pattern. To determine cylinder and axis, the same measurement is repeated in three meridians. The measurement with infrared light is completely innocuous. For more information please visit the website.

The benefits of choosing Plusoptix as your primarily screening tool.

Easy to Deploy: The S12C has an in-built patient database and Wi-Fi for data transfer, saves to SD card.

Automated Screening Result: After measurement, it compares the results to age-specific referral criteria and gives a “Pass” or “Refer” result.
This makes it very useful in mass screenings (schools, paediatric clinics, kindergartens)

As per factory recommendations, the maximum time to charge the supplied batteries is 3 hours. but it is important to remember, that you can operate the device while it's charging.
Please note that rechargeable batteries age and will need periodic replacement depending on how many charges cycles they’ve had.

Have you ever wondered how Plusoptix and came together?
Well, here is the background story.

19/11/2025

By enabling primary health care providers (not just eye specialists) to do reliable screenings, Plusoptix helped broaden the reach of early detection programs. This is particularly important for amblyopia (lazy eye), where early diagnosis and treatment make a big difference.

17/11/2025

With everything being developed in Germany, a strong warranty, and continuous device refinement, Plusoptix has built a reputation for reliability, which helps clinics, and NGOs, commit to large-scale screening programs.

Many Plusoptix models are handheld and easily transported, this is great for outreach settings (schools, clinics, rural sites) where you may have many children, and you need speed and minimal cooperation.

10/11/2025

Yes — the Plusoptix (sometimes styled “plusoptiX”) devices can detect signs of media opacities, in the “Camera Image” result screen you can zoom into the pupils and check for abnormal light/reflex patterns or structures within the pupils that indicate media opacities.

07/11/2025

The Plusoptix devices are handheld, non-invasive vision screening tool that measures refractive errors, pupil size, and eye alignment within seconds. It is particularly useful for testing children with autism and special needs, as it requires no physical contact, eye drops, or verbal responses.

Detection Capabilities: Plusoptix screeners and autorefractors can identify amblyogenic risk factors such as anisometropia, strabismus, and media opacities, which are critical for early intervention.
