eyeRadar is a digital tool for the Rapid Assessment of Dyslexia and Abnormalities in Reading. It utilizes a laptop with advanced eye-tracking capabilities and is a fast, digital, accurate, reproducible and objective initial assessment of reading problems, with special focus on dyslexia.
eyeRadar can “measure and quantify” the reading process of an individual by using eye tracking technology. Even the subtlest eye movements of the individual are captured while reading text on a computer screen and are represented in the form of “gazes”, “fixations” and “saccades”. The fixations show the points in the text that the reader actually stop to retrieve the information and the saccades reveal how quickly the reader move from one fixation to another and how many times does he have to go back and forth. This is not measurable if you are a therapist just watching or hearing the child read. These parameters comprise what we call “the reading path” of the individual.
eyeRadar’s multidisciplinary team of doctors and scientists, who have been working together over the last decade, has a solid world-class scientific background. Using over 25 parameters to measure reading, it provides valuable information about the way a student reads specific texts. Unlike most reading and dyslexia assessments, eyeRadar’s silent reading approach reduces nervousness and does not require activation of the vocalization centres of the brain. If a reading problem is confirmed, a personalized treatment plan is developed via guidance from the produced report.
We would like to invite you to the inaugural presentation of eyeRadar in the UK at 100% Optical this February at Excel London. eyeRadar is addressed to all optometrists who regularly examine children and need to advise on their learning/reading skills. We are looking forward to meeting you on ‘One’s to Watch” stand E229.
