PASKAL 3D KIDS&TEENS Water balls, funny sand figures and sweet ducklings ... all help to make the test of visual acuity an interesting experience for small children.
IPRO-Project manager Stefanie Woehrle has a lot of
experience with child optometry, she is responsible for
PASKAL 3D and MyEyeTrainer. She has tackled a topic that
will significantly advance PASKAL 3D: the special use of
sight test for determining visual acuity in children from the
age of six. “For Behavioural Optometrists children with vision
problems are in the centre of attention“, explains Stefanie
Woehrle. „Undoubtedly, children have special individual
needs and I have always been concerned with the topic“. In
order to attract a child’s attention, the tests should include
child-friendly motives; on the other hand, the optotypes
should be relatively clear and simple in order to facilitate
easy communication. This is the reason why optotypes are
made visible in single rows.
The PASKAL 3D Kids&Teens module uses Hazel Kay’s
special children’s symbols. They are lovingly designed and
are very suitable for communicating with children who do
not know numbers yet. In addition, letters, numbers and
landolt rings can be used.
In the children’s module, well-known colourful PASKAL 3D
backgrounds with mountains or beaches are exchanged for
images that are more suitable for children. The motives for
the determination of the dominant eye remain; a dog can be
seen in one, in the other a cat. „Of course, that’s what the
kids like; in addition to the eye test they like the 2D and the
3D images“.
For phoria determination, the tests were broken down in to
more detail. For example, in the angle-cross test according
to Grolman, the PASKAL 3D children’s module shows firstly
the vertical lines and then the horizontal lines. „In the
Grolmann-cross test we ask when the vertical lines are on
top of each other; in the next step we look at the horizontal
lines separately and ask when they are at the same level. If
you do not show the complete cross then communication is
much easier“, says Stefanie Woehrle.
For the binocular fine-tuning, the PASKAL team came up
with a typical everyday situation for children. A classroom is
presented in 3D and different distances to the board are
simulated. The improvements in the visibility of the black-
board, using glasses in this test, can be explained to the
children.
Stefanie Wöhrle, the master
optician has additional training as
a non-medical practitioner. She
has been working on Behavioural
Optometry for many years. To date,
she carries out visual analysis in her
practice on two afternoons per week
and organizes visual training for
her clients. Her commitment as a
project manager at IPRO is positively
complimented by her on-going
experience: She is a woman who
brings practical experience.

KIDS&TEENSA VIEWING EXPERIENCE
FOR YOUR LITTLE
CUSTOMERS
The module for Kids & Teens series includes new tests
that are needed above all in functional optometry. For the
retinoscopy or the cover test, a fixation on an object is
necessary. It is simply amusing to observe our funny squirrel!
The children‘s attention is captivated by the changing
poses. Two further tests are available to support graphical
analysis in which the optotypes are displayed in a vertical or
horizontal line.
We wish you and your little customer lots of fun
with the new Kids&Teens tests. You can order the
Kids&Teens module from your IPRO consultant.

The PASKAL 3D experiential refraction system offers a standard series of eight tests, each of which follows on from the previous one so
that normally all requirements are met. In addition to values for a comfortable adjustment, the optician also gets information from about the patient’s binocular and phorimetric status, stereopsis and dominance. All this is
achieved against a 3-D background that turns the eye test into an agreeable experience for the customer. If required, other tests can be added.
GUIDED REFRACTION TESTING
WITH THE STANDARD TEST SERIES
3D Background Kids&TeensNew background, suitable for children, so that the little ones have more fun during refraction.
Beach ball-Test Kids&Teens (Screening for stereopsis)At the beach, with beach balls ...
Dominance test Kids&Teens(Screening for stereopsis)Of course, the dominant eye is also of interest to children, so the proven cat/dog test is also part of this series.
Optotype Series Presentation Kids&TeensThe sequence of the tests is identical to the standard series, with the exception of single line view as standard, to ease communication with the children. Children optotypes are also included in the module!
PASKAL Test Individual SeriesThe PASKAL Test (monocular refraction under binocular stereoscopic conditions) also for children in a single series.
Simplified test according Grolman (horizontal)The Grolman cross has also been simplified. It is now possible to check the horizontal phoria separately. This also helps to ease the communication with the children.
Optotypes, line-by-line (vertical)This test is specially designed for the functional optometry and the „graphical analysis“. The separation of the visual impressions is done with prisms. This test is meant to check the horizontal phoria.
Optotypes, line-by-line (horizontal)This test is specially designed for the functional optometry and the „graphical analysis“. The separation of the visual impressions is done with prisms. This test is meant to check the vertical phoria.
2D Fixations Stimulus The squirrel serves as a fixation stimulus. The images change automatically. This test can be used for retinoscopy and/or at the distance cover test.
ClassroomThe classroom is the new final test for children and youths. This test is meant to simulate the new vision situation in the classroom.
Simplified test according to Grolman (vertical)The Grolman cross has also been simplified. It is now possible to check the vertical phoria separately. This also helps to ease the communication with the children.
Differentiated stereo test D6Test for determining the critical stereo angle. the parallax is logarithmically graduated from 5 to .5, randomizable and can be displayed from the front/back using the Invert button.
