The Importance of Pediatric Visual Acuity Screening
Visual acuity testing measures how clearly a child can see – an essential part of their ability to learn, engage, and navigate their environment.
When vision impairments go undetected, they can lead to academic struggles, developmental delays, and social or behavioral challenges. Starting at age 4, visual acuity screening helps identify these issues early to support a child’s healthy development. After a child has been screened, a provider can refer them to an ophthalmologist, if needed.
Why GoCheck Kids’ Visual Acuity Test Stands Out
Not all vision screening is created equal. Eye charts have evolved significantly over the years, and using outdated methods can lead to missed vision problems or inaccurate results.

What They’re Saying About Us
“GoCheck Kids has been our favorite medical device for our clinic over the past 7 years. It is simple to use, accurate, and helps keep the workflow in our busy clinic moving faster. We love that it is on a smartphone so we can have several available for use and not a huge piece of equipment that has to be lugged around all over.”
