Perform the following steps to take a measurement of the patient’s eye.
Set the height of the table so the canthus
marks on the sides of the instrument are
level with the patient’s eyes. The patient
should be seated comfortably and posi-
tioned in a way that enables them to lean
forward without straining.
Slide the headrest fully to the left or right.
Have the patient locate the red LEDs
surrounding the air tube and lean forward
so that the center of their forehead rests
firmly in the middle of the rubber forehead
pad.
Make sure the patient is able to see all,
or some, of the red lights. Explain to the
patient that a green light will move into view
during measurement. Ask the patient to
blink a few times then hold both eyes open
when the green light appears.
Touch the MEASURE or TRIPLE MEA-
SURE icon to begin the measurement
process.
Note:
If the instrument is unable to complete its alignment and measurement process, it
may be necessary to:
• Reposition the patient and obtain optimal alignment
• Ask the patient to remain still and try not to move
• Remind the patient to keep both eyes wide open and to move his/her chin as close to
the instrument as possible.
