Catatrac Cataract Screening Tool 

The handheld device is very easy, simple, and fast to use. It is especially useful for screening large numbers of patients swiftly while also offering an effective way to screen infants and children.

The Catatrac device utilizes retroilluminiaton to detect cataracts. The Catatrac tester is especially useful for detecting congenital cataracts in newborns and young children before the cataracts negatively affect their development and learning. It is ideal for screening elderly patients in assisted living and nursing homes as well as community screenings at adult day centers. With less than a half hour training, doctors, nursing staff, and other medical workers can easily screen for cataracts as effectively as an ophthalmoscope in hands of an ophthalmologist or optometrist.

Sometimes visual impairment is accepted by the elderly and their families as an inevitable part of aging; cataracts discovered with the Catatrac device can usually be treated effectively, restoring vision and quality of life for elderly patients. In rural clinics where ophthalmic or optometric services are only sporadically available, Catatrac can be used effectively by local healthcare workers to perform first-line screening.
