New digital eye test chart

Having used a traditional letter based eye testing box chart for the past 30 years Lesley Cree Opticians has taken the plunge to “embrace technology” and invested in a digital eye test screen which the optometrist operates using a tablet controller.

The system has been designed by opticians to give the most effortless digital test chart experience and features a powerful all in one system that has a HD quality monitor and computer built into one sleek unit.

This enables the Optometrist to change the letters quickly and easily and to project single lines of letters or even individual letters of all sizes. This is particularly useful for children, aging patients or adults with learning difficulties. And it also challenges patients who may have previously attempted to “cheat” their way through the test by learning the sequence of letters!

The chart also has pictures of all sizes for pre-school children, numbers, colour tests, number plate test, contrast sensitivity tests and the old favourite red/green test.

Lesley and Ruth are both looking forward to using the new chart and having a wealth of different visual stimulate at the touch of a fingertip!

Commenting, Lesley added, “Providing the very best eye care advice and ensuring our patients feel relaxed and comfortable during their eye examination form the foundations of our service offering. Our investment in this technology will further improve the customer experience and bring us right up to date in the digital world!”
