New Wearable Adaptive Refractor

March 9, 2016

Sonomed Escalon is introducing VisionFit, an electronic, tunable, all-in one, solid state, mobile and wearable system of lenses developed by Adaptica. It performs a subjective sight examination and it effectively replaces both the trial glasses and the manual/electronic phoropter functionality.

By using the VisionFit in combination with Adaptica’s 2Win binocular handheld refractometer and vision analyzer, the operator performs an objective and subjective refraction exam in a few minutes only, with maximum mobility and flexibility. The system provides final guidance for the production of standard and customized prescription lenses and also allows subjective refraction to be performed in association with other biomedical devices (e.g. stabilometric platform) and with other devices used by the patient.
VisionFit includes a computer integrated control unit featuring a display screen, keyboard controller, commands and connectivity capabilities. The wearable electronic trial frame features two tunable lens sets each composed of three adaptive lenses (spherical, cylindrical and aberration) with add-on lens support.

The company says VisionFit effectively combines all the features and advantages of both the trial frame and the manual/automated phoropters.

Notable Features:
• Wearable and mobile; it fits like a trial frame.
• Enables examining in free posture.
• Small footprint and reduced exam time.
• Increases peripheral vision.
• Doesn’t require control of the patient’s position. Ideal with non-cooperative patients.
• Connectivity, broad recording and printing capabilities.
• Adjustable step resolution for spherical lens down to 0.05 D.
• Same standards of speed, fluidity and symmetry of digital phoropters.
• Subjective refraction can be performed with the patient in his/her usual working environment and posture.

Sonomed has released the following fitting information:
• Spherical correction range -10/+10 D and -20/+20 D with the use of an additional lens with prescription steps of 0.125 D and variable fluidity steps (adjustable from 0.05 to 0.25 D) with the use of the basic spherical lens.
• Cylindrical correction range 0 to 10 D by steps of 0.25 D
• Axis adjustment range 1-180° by steps of 1°
• Additional prismatic lenses range (optional) 0 to 10 ?, steps 1 ? (add on – no automatic)
• Tolerances range of lenses according to ISO 10341, §4.3
• Corneal vertex distance range 10-18 mm
• Manual pupil distance adjustment range 50-80 mm, separated right and left
• Device free aperture 30 degrees
• Display color LCD, 3.5 inches
• WiFi Module Radicom, model: WiFiHU-a
• Bluetooth Module IDATA, USB 2.0 Bluetooth Mini Class 2+EDR
• Power requirement Voltage: 100-240 VAC, 50-60 Hz – Power consumption: 60 VA
