Why choose Blinq.?
Blinq. is a pediatric vision scanner designed specifically to detect amblyopia and micro-strabismus in screening environments. Using a brief Neural Performance Scan of the fovea, it evaluates binocularity with high sensitivity and specificity to help you identify children who need a full eye exam.
Unprecedented accuracy in preschool vision screening
Blinq. conducts a ~2-second Neural Performance Scan of the fovea to detect binocularity changes associated with as little as 1-degree misalignment. This allows vision screening staff to detect amblyopia and strabismus in preschool children with high sensitivity and specificity.
In clinical studies, Blinq. has demonstrated approximately 97% sensitivity and 87% specificity for detection of amblyopia and strabismus. High sensitivity provides strong pass assurance, while high specificity helps reduce the cost and burden of over-referrals.
Blinq. may be reimbursable; contact your representative for information about relevant billing pathways in your setting.
Empirical, objective results at the point of care
Blinq. provides simple, objective results directly on the device within seconds of the scan. Screening staff see a definitive “pass” or “refer” output, rather than a series of metrics that require interpretation.
- Results available on the device in approximately 3 seconds.
- Definitive pass/refer output for amblyopia, including refractive amblyopia, micro-strabismus, and strabismus.
- Eliminates the need to interpret confounding refractive data or manually apply complex referral criteria.
Modern application for today’s screening programs
Blinq. is built for contemporary screening workflows and data requirements, helping programs scale while maintaining privacy and compliance expectations.
- Encrypted data handling supports HIPAA-compliant workflows and helps protect patient privacy.
- Intuitive data management on the device, plus tandem web-based tools for program reporting and follow-up.
- Wireless “push” of patient lists to Blinq. and “pull” of screening results back to your system, reducing reliance on paper forms and portable media.
