Feasibility and Clinician Perspectives of the Visual Symptoms and Signs Screen A Multisite Pilot Study

Background: The Visual Symptoms and Signs Screen (V-SASS) is a tool to identify vision deficits and facilitate referrals to vision specialists. The study objectives were to determine feasibility and clinician perspectives of the V-SASS. Methods: Prospective, multisite study with 141 new-onset stroke participants. After V-SASS administration, feasibility and predictive success were assessed. Results: The V-SASS identified vision symptoms and signs with high feasibility (>75%). Of those who screened positive, 93.1% had deficits in visual function or functional vision. Conclusions: The V-SASS was found to be feasible in multiple settings and accurately identify vision deficits and appropriately trigger vision referrals. (C) 2024 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
