Digital Eye Testing Chart

[Win C]

Hi all,

I am currently using a light projector for testing vision and doing refractions.

I am thinking of using digital eye testing chart with a LCD monitor.

Anyone using digital eye testing chart? Can you share your experience with these charts? Which is a good software and how much do they cost?

Thanks

Microsoft PowerPoint. You should be able to buy a copy in Singapore for about a buck. You can make multilingual charts, graphics, Landoldt Rings or whatever and scale the letters for any length lane. You can also play around with contrast or whatever other parameter suits your fancy.

How do you deal with flipping from screen to screen? Do you basically just use an "up" and a "down" key on a remote?

Hyperlink from a menu.

No, I am not doing that any longer. I am retired and spend most of my time fishing, hunting and traveling about. I suppose that I could make up a pps and send it to you but I feel that I would be doing you a disservice. You should really add to your skill set and do it yourself. It’s not much of a challenge.

It was much of a challenge for me. I couldn't get it done right. The doctor is picky, so we bought a commercial version. One of the best investments made. Worth it for the Wow effect alone.

hI,

can you share with us which commercial software you are using for your computerized test chart?

I have searched the web. In the US i believed most people use Acuity Pro, and the Smart System. In the UK, they have Test Chart 2000.

As there are no distributors in Singapore for the above softwares, i am concerned about the servicing of the product if anything happened.

For these software, do you pay a 1 time license or yearly license?

Also, if your computer were to crash and needs the software to be re installed, do you need to buy a new software or pay additional license?

Hope anyone who has experience with computerized test chart can share your experience 9in using these software) as I am thinking of getting one of those software for my consulting room.

Thanks. :cheers:

We use AcuityPro. One-time payment. No yearly fees. It runs from a USB "key". Once, a computer was stolen and we had to repurchase. But if your computer crashes, there would be no extra cost.

We love it, the patients love it. THe doctor uses the Randomize key alot to keep "cheating" to a minimum. We have 12' rooms. We have an 19" LCD monitor hooked up to the computer (a dual monitor video card is installed) that is mounted on the back wall behind and to the right of the patientat about 5'6" high. AcuityPro will automatically invert for a folded room. You measure the distance and AcuityPro will tell you how large to make the letters in the program. I wouldn't recommend anything smaller than a 17" monitor. It has a little cartoon for kids. You can load educational videos to play for the patients. I can't remember the price, but we will be ordering another one next week.

Hi thanks for the info. I guess you can load the program into as many PC as you like but you can only operate one at a time becuase you need to use the USB key. Can you purchase additional USB key or that will be an entirely new purchase with the software package?

Software is free to download, you pay for the USB key. The download may only work for 30 days, w/ limited features, I think. I can't exactly remember. Yes we bought a USB key for each computer.

Eyecuity

I'm not sure what the cost is, but Eyecuity has a wonderful setup. Can be used with your own PC or without. Hope that helps.

We also use Acuity Pro. The randomize feature is priceless. We actually had someone come in once and started reading off the standard Snellen chart which they had memorized. OOPS!!!!:D:D
