Optec 5000 series Vision Tester Stereo Optical Company Stereo Optical, Inc. has created the Optec® 5000 and 5000 P to perform comprehensive visual screening in minimal time. In addition to the ability to screen under a variety of conditions, including monocular, binocular, near, distance, daytime, and nighttime, the Optec® 5000 P can also function as a peripheral vision test. The 5000 and 5000 P models are lightweight, portable, and feature a convenient light-emitting diode (LED) lighting system. Adult and pediatric visual acuities, color and depth perception, as well as vertical and lateral phorias can be tested using the Optec® 5000 and 5000 P. These visual screening devices conduct simple, accurate, and repeatable tests in less than five minutes.
While the updated Optec® 5500 is easier to use than ever before, it retains the trusted accuracy it is known for. The Optec® 5500 P model adds the ability to perform peripheral visual screening (a test featuring flashing lights on a horizontal plane with stimuli at 85, 70, and 55 inches temporally, and 45 inches nasally) and sets the industry standard for vision testing devices. Among the features that make the Optec® 5500 so user-friendly are a remote control and use of color-corrected light. This model weighs less than 15 pounds, is portable, and requires a mere two square feet of space. The package includes 12 test slides and a choice of the standard vision testing slide packages, as well as the option to create a vision testing slides library of more than 150 test slides. Contrast sensitivity slide packages are also available for purchase upon request. more... |
