Devices

Overview

Any time you have to transcribe information, enter information via the keyboard, you run the risk of making a mistake. Better to automatically pull the information directly from the source, from the devices you’ve available to you in the office. OD Office Pro supports many devices out of the box, but if you’ve purchased one that isn’t listed, please have that manufacturer’s sales rep give us a call. Once we’re provided with the details as to how the device communicates its information, it can be written into the software.

Adding a Device to OD Office Pro

Within the exams, click on the ‘File>>Devices…’ menu. The ‘Device Manager’ opens, which allows you to specify which device you’re using, in which context. For each device type, you can pick from a list of available devices, and then configure how to communicate with that device.

Network Folder or Serial Port

There are two ways that devices can share information - they can write a file to a specific folder on the network, or they can send it down a wire through to a serial port on your computer. Some devices support both ways, but if the device only supports one, the other option will be greyed out - it will be ‘uncheckable’.

Device List

Autorefractor

An autorefractor or automated refractor is a computer-controlled machine used during an eye examination to provide an objective measurement of a person's refractive error and prescription for glasses or contact lenses. This is achieved by measuring how light is changed as it enters a person's eye. (Wikipedia Autorefractor)

Lensometer

A lensmeter or lensometer, also known as a focimeter or vertometer, is an ophthalmic instrument. It is mainly used by optometrists and opticians to verify the correct prescription in a pair of eyeglasses, to properly orient and mark uncut lenses, and to confirm the correct mounting of lenses in spectacle frames. Lensmeters can also verify the power of contact lenses, if a special lens support is used. (Wikipedia Lensometer)

Tonometer

Tonometry is the procedure eye care professionals perform to determine the intraocular pressure (IOP), the fluid pressure inside the eye. It is an important test in the evaluation of patients at risk from glaucoma. Most tonometers are calibrated to measure pressure in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). (Wikipedia Ocular Tonometry)

Phoropter

Phoropter is a common name for an ophthalmic testing device, also called a refractor. It is commonly used by eye care professionals during an eye examination, and contains different lenses used for refraction of the eye during sight testing, to measure an individual's refractive error and determine his or her eyeglass prescription. It also is used to measure the patients' phorias and ductions, which are characteristics of binocularity. (Wikipedia Phoropter)
