Anyone try the Spectangle App yet?
I had a Hoya VIP come in (to see my MD) and he stopped in the office and we were chatting. He showed me this app for iPhone or iPad that can take ALL frame measurements. Anyone can buy it for $99...just wondering if anyone has tried it. I LOVE the name...Spectangle.
More Details On Spectangle...........................
The HOYA free form company Spectangle-
A free form lens measuring device. With the advent of the most technologically advanced free form lens, the HOYALUX iD MyStyle lens from Hoya can now have its critical frame measurements taken and the patients lifestyle questionnaire filled out using the Spectangle app.
Pantoscopic Angle, Face Form Angle, and Vertex Distance can all be taken accurately using an iphone, itouch or ipad 2. The first generation ipad can be used by importing the photos via the attachable camera input. The ipad family can utilize a high megapixel camera to take the measured photos, thus allowing incredible zoom for accuracy. Hoyas MyStyle iDentifier is an interactive tool that gathers various categories of data to precisely profile each individual patient creating a lens uniquely for them. Spectangle gives the user the ability to take the critical measurements the MyStyle iDentifier needs to create the personalized lens.
These measurements include: The wearers pantoscopic and face form angles, positioning of the lenses for accurate directional success. The frame corneal distance, specifying how the lens is worn to reach optimum viewing potential. Lastly, the patients lifestyle requirements; such as their interests, choices and activities that effect vision on a daily basis.
All data collected by Spectangle can be emailed to the office email to be reviewed at a more convenient time. This allows the optician to later input the crucial measurements into the MyStyle iDentifier at their pace.
The unique experience of personalizing a lens for a patient can be a more time consuming process than the typical progressive fit, but the overall benefits far out way the extra steps involved. Making the measurement process simple and timely is where Spectangle has its advantage.

While the MyStyle iDentifier requires more data than Spectangle takes into account, its cost effectiveness allows any office to take the same important frame measurements as those of the expensive free form instruments.
Spectangle can be implemented on up to five devices per account, thus benefiting your office if all opticians desire to have their own devices. Spectangle is a simple, accurate and cost effective means to solve your free form lens measurements.
To me this looks like a HOYA only system, check ay ----------------------------> http://www.hoyaluxid.com/index.php?S...&page_id=17490
