    3.2.4 Auto Shot When moving the measuring head and/or chin rest of the instrument, pay attention to the position of the patient's face, hands, and fingers. The patient may be injured by the moving section of the instrument. Do not allow any person to place their hands or fingers in the clearance of the moving section of the main unit or the section immediately under the chin rest.
  • Page 39 Auto Shot function automatically performs measurement when the sight in the up/down/right/left /focus directions becomes optimum. If the Auto Shot function is turned on, the background of the letters [AS] on the lower right of the screen turns blue. Operate the joystick so the center-point (1) located in (Fig.1) the center of the cornea enters the target ring (2).

  • Page 40: Measurement

    3.3 Measurement patient stop blinking during measurement. Auto Shot may not be able to make a measurement if the eyes are blinking too much, or if there are anomalies on the surface of the cornea, such as corneal disorders. In this case, perform a manual measurement.
  • Page 41 <Measurement procedures> 1) Change the measurement mode to “REF.” (See “3.2.2 Selecting the mode and setting measurement conditions.”) 2) Use the joystick to position the patient's eye on the screen. 3) Allow the target center-point to enter the target ring. When Auto Shot is ON, measurement starts automatically once optimum focus is achieved, and the specified number of measurements (three or five)
  • Page 42 alignment is not performed; manual measurement, therefore, should only be performed when the patient's sight is too unstable. Eyelids and eyelashes are covering the minimum pupil size ring. Ask the patient to open their eyes wide or have the physician lightly hold the patient's upper eyelid with their fingers, and conduct measurement again.

    Optical accommodation is in progress The measurement may not be accurate when optical accommodation is in progress, such as immediately after removing corrective lenses, or just after performing tasks that require hard use of the eyes. Try again after a certain amount of time, or instruct the patient to look far away.
  • Page 44 <Measurement procedures> 1) Change the measurement mode to “KRT.” (See “3.2.2 Selecting the mode and setting measurement conditions.”) 2) Use the joystick to position the patient's eye on the screen. 3) Align the target center-point with the center of the target ring.
  • Page 45 <When measurement is difficult> When measurement cannot be performed or an error is shown for the measurement result, the problems listed below have occurred. Conduct appropriate measures described below according to possible causes. Blinking or nystagmus Ask the patient to look into the lamp to steady their eye and start the measurement again.
