Mode of Operation of the Binoptometer® 4P
The Binoptometer® 4P is a vision screening instrument that provides a
comprehensive set of tests. The tests are presented on a high-resolution
micro-color display. This technology allows a virtually unlimited
presentation of vision tests.
A precisely calculated, three-element achromatic lens provides an exact
image of the tests. This lens allows vision to be tested irrespective of the
patient’s interpupillary distance.
Function of Some Components
Knob for infinitely adjustable viewing angle
:
The patient can adjust the angle of the test field himself, so that the
vision test can also be conducted with multifocals or varifocals under
physiological conditions. With the adjustment knob, the test field is
moved downward (down-gaze angle).
Viewing window
(fig. 6-1, page 10, item 3)
:
The light-protected, yet open
viewer prevents interfering reflections and contributes to a pleasant test
atmosphere.
Rocker switch for height adjustment
(optional)
item 7)
:
The rocker switch for height adjustment allows the patient to
adjust the height him/herself.
Indicator light
:
The indicator light shows
whether the Binoptometer® 4P is receiving power.
