Coburn Technologies announced the addition of the Huvitz HVS-1 Vision Screener to its catalog of Huvitz product offerings. HVS-1 is primarily intended for pediatric use, and is the first of its kind among Coburn’s ophthalmic line of products, the company said in a press release. It performs rapid vision screening for infants and toddlers in less than a second with high accuracy. The device is also suitable for elderly patients and patients with mobility issues, the company said.

The HVS-1 Vision Screener is a non-contact, handheld device that takes quick and comfortable refractive measurements. Attractive lights and sounds assist in focusing the patient for precise measurement capture. The patient is viewed through a bright screen with a wide viewing angle where results are displayed after capture. According to the company, HVS-1 is easily compatible with the standard DICOM format and test results can be loaded onto a PC.
