RightEye is launching the RightEye Reading Test, a tool for educators, optometrists and specialists to non-invasively identify reading disorders.
The RightEye Reading Test enables practitioners to differentiate eye movement issues from other reading disorders, designed to result in earlier and more appropriate intervention for readers.
The test offers nearly 100 stories, short and long, and will be available in 12 languages, each marked with a level of difficulty that corresponds to different grade levels for beginning, intermediate and advanced readers. Using these stories, the test identifies and reports metrics compared with norms that are important in assessing oculomotor abilities when reading, including words per minute, fixations, saccades and regressions.
The reading stories, norms and associated comprehension questions within the RightEye Reading Test were developed by the Optometric Extension Program Foundation.
“With this test, and the associated instant report available to parents, showing precise eye movements and scores relative to norms, school systems, optometrists and specialists can now identify reading disorders, apply an appropriate intervention, and avoid the learning and behavioral challenges often associated with misdiagnosis—all without any of the costly, time-intensive and invasive procedures typically required for diagnosis,” says Barbara Barclay, president of RightEye.
Later this year, RightEye will launch RightEye Maze Master, a gaze interactive game that helps users gain better control over each eye and both eyes by challenging them to pop numbers with just their eyes in a maze formation that becomes narrower and more complex at higher levels. Maze Master works in conjunction with the RightEye Reading Test, and can help improve the oculomotor skills deficits that may be impairing a patient’s reading.
The RightEye Reading Test is available for purchase through the company’s cloud-based platform, which is available to customers with the purchase of a RightEye Complete 3D Eye-Tracking System.
