Page 15: Binocular Measurement
Binocular measurement 5.1 Measurement procedure Step 1: If the plusoptiX A09 is not connected to a practice network and the measurement results are to be documented, please enter the patient data. This data should be entered before the child is seated for measurement. - Page 16 Step 2: Hold the camera approximately 1.20 metres (3.3 feet) away from the child at eye level and start the camera by pressing once on the trigger in the handle. A warble sound can be heard to draw the child’s attention to the camera. Avoid the child observing the monitor.
- Page 17 2. A red edge around the pupil is a sign that the pupil is too small. Reduce the light in the room to allow the pupils to dilate and repeat the measurement. 3. If the plusoptiX A09 does not find the pupils within 20 seconds, the measurement procedure is automatically terminated. The most common reasons for this are:...
- Page 18 a) One or both pupils are not completely displayed on the screen, e.g. eyelashes or the eyelid is partially occluding the pupil. The mother should lift the child’s eyelid gently. Repeat the measurement. b) If the corneal reflexes appear on one gaze chart as red point clouds and on the other as green point clouds, the asymmetry of the corneal reflexes is ≥...

12. Practical tips 12.1 Measurement results The major benefit of the plusoptiX A09 is that binocular measurements in miosis in children can be performed from a distance of one meter. Device accommodation is therefore unnecessary, and the measurement is non-stressful for the child, the parent and the examiner. - Page 39 The following images show clear cataract-like structures. 6. Nystagmus The plusoptiX A09 can be used to measure nystagmus in children in most cases, as the determination of refraction is performed at 50 Hz, i.e. every measurement is performed at 20 ms.
