UAE-born. Child-centred.

Every child, seen and heard.

Sihhara brings eye health screening into your school. Each child wears a lightweight VR headset for a short, guided eye check, using medically approved tests designed to be comfortable for children. Every result lands in one clear, secure record, so families and teachers know what to do next.

  • 10 minutes per child
  • Medically approved tests, made child-friendly
  • At your school, during the school day

Summary for the family

Most results are within the expected range. We recommend an eye examination with an optometrist to look at eye movement. This report is shared in English and Arabic.

Children rarely say “I can’t see the board.” They don’t know the world is supposed to look different.

Hidden difficulties look like behaviour

A child who struggles to focus, read or copy from the board is easily seen as distracted or unmotivated, when the real cause may be something no one has checked.

Screening today is patchy

Checks happen at different ages, with different tools, and results sit in different places. Families wait, and schools rarely see the full picture.

Early answers change outcomes

When a concern is spotted early, the fix is often simple. Glasses, a referral or classroom support can make the difference to how a child learns and feels.

Healthy eyes first

So much of school depends on what children see. We start with a thorough, child-friendly check of how their eyes work, using a VR headset and proven technology from specialist partners. For students it is a calm, guided 10-minute check. For families and schools it means problems are caught early, before they get in the way of learning.

Where we start

  • Visual acuityHow clearly each eye sees fine detail, near and far. Blurry vision is the most common reason children need glasses, and children often don’t realise they can’t see clearly.
  • Side visionHow much a child takes in around them, not just straight ahead. It matters in the playground, in sport and crossing the road. Changes in side vision can also be an early sign of conditions such as glaucoma, which often has no symptoms until sight is affected, so finding it early helps protect sight for life.
  • Eye movementHow smoothly the eyes move and work as a team, so following a line of text or looking up at the board feels easy.
  • Contrast visionSeeing things that don’t stand out sharply, like faint print, dim rooms or a ball against the sky.
  • Colour visionTelling colours apart, so colour-coded lessons, maps and charts make sense. Many children don’t know they see colours differently.
  • Light responseA quick, gentle look at how the eyes react to light, which can point to a need for a closer look early on.

Proper eye tests, made for children

Children put on a lightweight VR headset and follow simple instructions, like spotting lights and following a moving target. Behind those simple steps are medically approved tests that measure how their eyes are working, with no eye drops and nothing touching the eye.

  • 10 minutes per childA whole school can be screened in about 3 days.
  • The same check for every childConsistent results, without relying on a wall chart or who is running the test.
  • Calm and comfortableOur nurses guide each child, and they can stop at any time.

One platform, many screenings, one record per child.

Most screening tools work alone. Sihhara connects them. Whatever technology runs the test, results come together in one place, in one format your school can actually use.

That means one consent process, one report for each family, and one clear view for your school, year after year.

  • Plain-language reports for parents, in English and Arabic
  • Cohort insights for school leaders and wellbeing teams
  • Built to keep student health data securely in the UAE

How screening works at your school

Our team of nurses brings the equipment, runs every test and handles the reports, so there’s as little impact on your school as possible. Most schools are screened in about 3 days. You provide a quiet room and a timetable.

  1. We plan it together

    We agree year groups and dates with you, and send consent forms to families through the platform.

  2. Students take the check

    Each child wears a VR headset for a 10-minute guided check, run by one of our nurses. Lessons carry on around them.

  3. Results come together

    Every result flows into Sihhara and is checked, so each child has one complete record.

  4. Everyone gets next steps

    Families receive a clear report. Your school sees who may need support, and what kind.
