    Essilor Pupillometer Knockoff

    I just had a nice conversation with the Essilor equipment department when I called about having a pupillometer repaired. The thing started acting funny and I could tell something was loose inside when you turned it on either side. I unscrewed it and looked inside and found the large magnifier lens unsecured in its holder- seems like a simple fix! After Essilor gave me a return address, I got back on the line to describe the issue and it turns out my $200 Ebay purchase is a knockoff- it does not have the name "Essilor Digital CRP" on the top and it uses 4 batteries, not two! BEWARE EVERYONE!

    Did it say it was made by Essilor or didn't you read the fine print?

    The product was advertised as an Essilor pupillometer- it has an Essilor label and works just like any pupillometer- it is not really high tech- I do have a thing about buying name brand eye exam equipment- so I replaced it with a Topcon pupillometer.
