| WHAT
WE OFFER |
InFOCUS
offers a portable refracting device, the FOCOMETER®,
which can be used to measure visual errors accurately,
without electricity. The Focometer makes it possible
for community health promoters to go beyond the usual "chart
on the wall" screening protocols to assess vision needs.
Through
a partnership with Eye Deal Eyewear, Inc., InFOCUS offers
low-cost, optically accurate Instant Eyeglasses.™ This
unique product combines frames and lenses so that an
individual's prescription can be assembled in the field
without special equipment or electricity.
InFOCUS
also provides training, information resources and technical
assistance to service providers. Visit our What's
New page for the latest dates and information.

THE
FOCOMETER®
Developed
by Drs. Ian Berger and Larry Spitzberg at the
University of Houston College
of Optometry in Houston, Texas to provide a subjective
refraction without the need for electricity or complicated
protocols.
It is as accurate as an autorefractor at a fraction
of the
cost. It's an
effective tool for over-refraction of contact lens
wearers and for use with difficult-to-refract patients.
Ideal for use wherever conventional methods are
impractical
or unavailable – in schools, at the work place
and on field visits. If you'd like to purchase
a FOCOMETER®, you may do so at our Online Store. |
