12 Operation procedures

For E, EM, MC type

Loosen the barrel screw about a half of a turn with the attached hexagonal wrench.

Barrel screw

Knob

Move the knob in the arrow direction so that the projection on the screen is sharp and clear. For proper calibration, the projection of the chart which has 0.1 (or 20/ 200) visual acuity should contact the inner side of one of the scales on the calibration card which correspondis to the desired refracting distance.

If the size does not match the respective refracting distance scale, move the instrument either toward or away item the screen and then repeat items 9 above.

Fix the barrel screw to complete preparation.

13 Operation procedures

For R type (variable focus lens type)

Loosen the first lens-barrel screw and the second lens-barrel screw about a half of a turn. Move the lens-barrel screw in the arrow direction with the hexagonal wrench inserted. The first lens-barrel screw: size The second lens-barrel screw: focus Move the first lens-barrel screw to roughly fit the size and move the second lensbarrel screw to achieve the focus.

Move the first and second lens-barrel screw forward and/or backward to focus 20/200 (or 0.1) visual acuity "E" on to the projection screen. Place the calibration card on the projection screen. The "E" of the 20/200 slide should fill and just touch the inner sides of the scale which corresponds to the desired refracting distance.

* The variable focus lenses permits the R type to be positioned at the following projection distances relative to refracing distance: Refracting Distance

Projection Distance

2.90 to 3.70m

3.80 to 4.80m

4.70 to 5.90m

6.1m

5.70 to 7.10m

For example: At a refracting distance of 5 meters, the R type Auto Chart Projector can be positioned at a distance of 4.70 to 5.90 meters. Within this range, the variable focus objective lenses can project the properly calibrated image.

Fix the barrel screw to complete preparation.

14 Operation procedures

Automatically advances (6) (7) the step in the program. (5) Back switch... Automatically backs the (9) (8) step in the program. (6) Mask selector... Allows selection of a mask that is appropriate for the chart. (horizontal mask, vertical mask, one character mask). (7) Mask transfer switch... Moves the mask in the direction as indicated on the switch. When the mask Example: A type chart moves to the maximum (minimum) indication of a chart being projected, the next (previous) chart in the sequence will automatically appear. Charts can be switched within the same type of charts. (8) R&G filter switch... R&G filter can be applied only for the chart that allows R&G filtering. (9) Switch the program P1 with the program P2. * See P.16 for using the program function. * When the lamp is turned off, the lamp will light up by pressing either the (1) or (3)-(9) switches. * When the mask is not open, it will automatically be open by pressing the (1) chart switch. * When the instrument is not used for 10 minutes, it will be automatically turned off (Auto shut-off mechanism)

15 Usage guide

Using the program functions

How to program the measuring procedure

(1) To start programming Turn the power switch on while pressing the reset switch. Release the reset switch when the buzzer sounds once. The chart will return to the start position, the lamp lights up and the buzzer sounds twice. Select either program 1 or 2 by pressing P1 or P2. (Buzzer once: P1 initial value, buzzer twice: P2). Press the “^” switch. The buzzer sounds three times. (2) Programming the charts Press the chart switch or the mask switch according to the measuring procedure to project and press the “^” switch. The buzzer sounds four times and this completes one step. * Repeat this to program the procedure. Programming is available for up to 30 steps. (3) Completing the programming Press the reset switch. This completes the programming. * Programming 30 steps will automatically complete the function without pressing the reset switch. * Turning the power switch off won’t erase the program. * Follow the steps above to start a new program. The former program will be erased to start a new program.

Test of binocular refraction and accommodation balance

Test of the final binocular refraction balance

Test of the function of binocular fusion

Test of the presence and level of latent heterophoria

The right eye is over corrected and the left eye is under corrected.

There is a variance of degree between the right eye and the left eye.

In the case where 4 dots are seen, there will be normal fusion. The white (bottom) color indicates which eye can see better. If red is seen mixed with green, the right and left eyes function at the same level.

Indicates exophoria of 3 prisms.

Right eye

The left eye is over corrected and the right eye is under corrected.

How the charts are seen binocularly

How the charts are viewed

Left eye

Adjust the spherical power to provide binocular balance.

Indicates esophoria of 2 prisms. If only two targets are seen, the left eye is suppressed.

The binocular refraction and accommodation balance are achieved when the two reds or two greens are seen at the same intensity.

18 Usage guide

*The Characters used in the F and H types are not the same as those shown above.

If only three green targets are seen, the right eye is suppressed

If five targets are seen, it indicates that the patient has diplopia.

Indicates left eye hyperphoria of 1 prisms.

Indicates left hypophoria of 0.5 prisms.

Polarized crosshair test

Polarizing filters

Test of the accommodation balance and heterophobia

Heterephobia which can not be examined by the reticle testing is tested.

Test of aniseikonia and vertical heterephobia which can not be examined by polarized crosshair test.

Test the presence of stereoscopy.

Esophoria

The right eye has an infixation disparity.

Aniseikonia of about 7% (equivalent to two lines) A single line indicates about 3.5%.

Exophoria

Indicates that the right eye has an infrafixation disparity.

Vertical heterophoria

If either line is seen thinner, the eye in question is suppressed.

Two lines are seen in fusion to form a single line image and floated or sunk against the central circle. The binoculra parallaxes is about 13 minutes and the lower line is seen floating about 1.1m (when seen at a distance of 5m with a PD of 64mm) If the axis of the polarizing filter is reversed at the same time for both eyes and seen sunk about 2.1m, it is normal. If the images are slowly fused, there is still correctable heterophoria. Verify with another heterophoria test. If it takes some time until the image appears to float, the patient may have an exophoria. If it takes some time until the image sinks, the patient may have an esophoria.

Left eye hyperphoria Indicates that the right eye has an suprafixation disparity.

Left eye hypophoria Left eye hypophoria

If either line is seen thinner, the eye in question is suppressed.

If either is clearly visible, there is observed suppression with the periphery of the retina in question.
