Prevent Blindness America Approves PediaVision Assessment Solution

LAKE MARY, FL, Jun 29 (MARKET WIRE) --
PediaVision, a company dedicated to solving the critical problem of
undiagnosed vision problems affecting thousands of children, today
announced that Prevent Blindness America, www.preventblindness.org, has
approved the PediaVision Assessment Solution (PAS) powered by Plusoptix,
as a vision screening device meeting the Prevent Blindness America vision
screening protocol, supported by recent studies published in Journal of
the American Academy of Pediatric Ophthalmology and Binocular Vision and
Strabismus Quarterly.

The PAS is a revolutionary vision screening solution that assists
Pediatricians and organizations such as Prevent Blindness America and
Lions Clubs in the detection of vision problems including, refractive
errors, amblyopia, strabismus, anisocoria, and media opacities. This is
critical because one out of every four children in the U.S. suffers from
a vision problem -- 7.7 million children under age 11. Fortunately, 95
percent of vision problems can be corrected if caught early.

"The Prevent Blindness America Pediatric Advisory Committee meets annually
to review our screening protocols to ensure they are based on the most
current evidence. As a result of this year's committee meeting, the
PediaVision Assessment Solution has now been approved for use in preschool
age children, including pre-verbal and special needs children," said Hugh
R. Parry, President and CEO of Prevent Blindness America.

Parry added, "Prevent Blindness America recognizes that computer-based
testing of visual acuity for child vision-screening purposes is now
available. And, our organization approves of the use of such technology,
if programmed to present testing methods that have been validated in
children of similar ages that meet Prevent Blindness America approved
standards based upon ATS, VIP, or AAP protocol."

PediaVision's CEO David Melnik commented, "Prevent Blindness America
offers the only national certification program for children's vision
screening and vision screening training, which are based on protocols
determined by leading experts in child health and vision care from across
the country. We're proud to have the approval of this leading vision
authority for our PAS as a vision screening device that meets the tough
technology standards."

"Effective for screening children of any age, especially pre-verbal
children, our PediaVision Assessment Solution (PAS) is the only binocular
vision screening device that yields highly accurate, immediate results,"
said Melnik added.
