Ocutech VES
®
II
(Vision Enhancing System)
Fitting Guide
The VES
®
is a monocular telescopic system.
The choice of which eye to choose for the
prescription of the VES
®
in binocular patients
is a function of which has the better visual
acuity as well as the patient’s preferred
sighting eye. The VES
®
gives you the option
to evaluate either eye, as it is completely
interchangeable for the right or the left.
The VES
®
can be prescribed in the standard
“above the frame” position or in the optional
“low mounting” position. The choice of the
appropriate positioning is a function of the
intended use of the device as well as the
anatomical features of the patient. Patients
with wide or high bridges may prefer the low
mounting position, as do users who intend to
use it for intermediate and near rather than
distance tasks.
Bottom mounting is accomplished by
attaching the telescope beneath the
mounting plate rather than above it using
the optional bottom mounting bracket as
described in the four steps that follow:
(The standard mounting bracket will work
in many circumstances, however the
optional bottom bracket will provide a wider
range of adjustment.)
1. Remove the VES
®
from the
bracket by unscrewing the allen
screws from each end.
2. Remove the bracket from the
mounting plate by removing the
two bottom screws.
3. Reattach the bottom mounting
bracket beneath the mounting
plate with the feet facing toward
the back of the frame.
4. Attach the telescope back onto
the bracket with the back of the
telescope flush to the front of
the bridge of the frame and the
bottom screws coming down
through the top of the plate.
Use of a screw-holding screwdriver
is recommended.
(Available from Ocutech and
included in the diagnostic kit.)
The eyepiece should position
slightly above the pupil
shown here.
Adjusting the focus of the VES
®
is easy.
The front focusing knob doubles as a
focusing correction for the patient’s
prescription as well as to focus the
telescope for different distances.
Demonstrate the convenient
focusing of the VES
®
cautioning the patient not to
block the front window opening
of the telescope.

From Standard to Low Mounting Position
Focusing is Quick and Convenient
Positioning the VES
®
for the Proper Eye
If the VES
®
is not positioned
on the frame for the proper eye,
remove the “side screws” with
the allen wrench and flip the
telescope over to position it for
the proper side. Then re-insert
the “side screws”.
Frame should position
slightly higher on the bridge.
