Successful use of SquintScope®

In the waiting room:
Greet the child in the waiting room and let it watch cartoons with SquintScope® while waiting for his/her appointment.

In the clinic:
The child brings SquintScope® into the examination room, and a small conversation about the cartoon can be held.

The doctor asks the child:

• Who is in the cartoon?
  
• What is Pingu doing?
  
• Who is coming for the birthday party?
  
• Is it cold for the penguin to stand on the ice in bare feet?

Try SquintScope® if you have ever:

• Had difficulty performing a full eye examination in 2-6 year-old child
• Had children not wanting or been unable to sit still during the eye-examination
• Only been able to examine one eye of a child
• Seen a child’s retina only “in a glimpse”
• Wished to be able to make an OCT scan of the 3-year-old
• Wished to have a photo of retina or the optic nerve in the 3-year-old

• Found that the child had to return several times to the eye-clinic before the desired
  examinations were fulfilled
• Wished it was be possible to perform an eye-examination in a child this is of the quality as in an adult
• (Almost) wished that no children would come to your clinic today
