This attention should be continued throughout adult life, with specific attention to the working years. ® Stereo Optical's OPTEC 1000 Vision Tester does this screening very efficiently. It is a precision instrument designed to do quick, accurate, reliable, and confidential screening.
The disposable headrest tissues insure the applicant a hygienic environment. The headrest also triggers the illumination for the test when pressure is applied. If the subject backs off or is in the wrong position, there will be no light in the instrument. All tests required have been mounted on one easy to change slide.
When speaking to the subject, never act surprised or provoked by their responses or lack of response. Give the subject every opportunity to demonstrate their best vision. If the subject is wearing glasses or contact lenses, they should wear them during the testing to determine whether they meet the requirements for corrected vision.

MIDDLE ROW: Perimeter Test First: Yellow Color: 45° nasal perimeter test. When the switch is held down, a momentary light will flash in the face plate.
IV. ADMINISTERING THE TEST Turn the power on by depressing the red power switch. Depress the two eye switches--orange and green, being sure the white switch (day/night) is NOT depressed but in the raised position. Pull off the first headrest tissue so there is a clean tissue available for the subject. Have a subject step forward and adjust the height of the instrument.
