Gulden Ophthalmics Adds Spanish Language Wormington Near Vision Screening Card to Array of Useful Ophthalmic Tools.
 ELKINS PARK, PA – Many medical offices
and clinics report that 25-50% of their patients speak Spanish as their
primary language and have limited English proficiency. In some geographic
areas Spanish speaking patients actually outnumber English speaking patients.
In order to meet the vision acuity testing needs and obtain reliable results
with these patients, Gulden has added a Spanish Language Wormington Card to
its standard English version. Armed with the new Spanish Language card, an eye care
professional no longer has to wonder if a patient’s reading
difficulty is a vision or a language problem.
As
with its English version, the Spanish version is specifically designed to be a
better tool than the Rosenbaum Card. The known inaccuracies of the Rosenbaum
Vision Screener have been corrected in the Wormington Card. Single letters and
Spanish text on this new card permit the eye care professional to accurately
measure a Spanish-speaking patient’s single letter near-vision and reading
acuity – with no interfering language barriers. The card uses New Roman
Times, a typical font for newspapers, magazines, and books. A series of
tumbling "E’s", a metric scale, and pupil size array add to the
card’s usefulness.
