Schoolchildren across Cambridgeshire who have missed out on eye tests during the Covid-19 lockdown can now be screened thanks to new technology. DigiVis, a web-based application, allows adults and children to test their vision accurately at home and enables accurate sight testing for individuals aged four-years-old and over. Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge have teamed up with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Healthy Child programme’s screening team, Cambridgeshire County Council, Peterborough City Council and the county’s community and hospital NHS trusts to provide the app to pupils who have missed screening during the pandemic. The app, developed by the paediatric ophthalmology team at Addenbrooke’s, requires two digital devices such as a smartphone and laptop, plus household items like a ruler, to calibrate the system.
