The Uses Of A Vision Tester

By Marissa Velazquez


Vision tester refers to a machine used in the medical field. This facility has been used for such a long time. Many health facilities have them, though not all. It is most commonly found in health centers that mainly deal with treatment of the eyes. This equipment is usually operated by well trained personnel.

Eye problems are diverse and they range from sight to aching. In terms of sight, there are those individuals who can only see objects which are placed at close range. These people have got quite a chronic problem, since they cannot manage to see objects located at distant places. Their images are usually formed at the front of the retina rather than on it. Remedies for this problem are diverse. Selection of remedy depends on the severity of the problem.

Other people may be able to see the distant objects very well but not those which are close to them. These individuals are said to be short sighted. There are very many people having this problem. Their images are formed behind the retina. Remedy for this problem is the reverse of the remedy offered for short sight. These individuals in most cases are given convex lenses to help them see close objects.

Remedy is determined by the nature of the problem, as well as affordability. The most commonly used and affordable remedy is glasses. These glasses usually are made using different lenses. These lenses differ in terms of the magnification strength. The stronger the lens, the more expensive it is at the health centers providing it. This solution has been mostly applied in solving problems of short sight and long sight.

Some people may however not be inclined to using glasses. These people if suffering from long or short sight may be forced to select more expensive options. These options include those such as laser treatment or surgery, which require more experienced attendants in the medical field. Other patients who just have got eye pains may be given eye drops. These ones contain chemicals which rectify any problem after a period of time.

Individuals who have so far been beneficiaries of the use of this machine appreciate the services offered. The machine on the part of patients and the operator is very easy to use. This then means that both of them are not fatigued or disturbed while using the machine. It is also not very heavy and can be moved from one place to another, making it very reliable.

However, some people who live in abstract poverty may not afford to use this machine. This is because some health centers may charge high amounts of money for the facility. Some of the operators are also the kinds who have not been trained well. These ones thus may lead to faulty diagnosis which in turn leads to wrong medication. Such cases have resulted in consequences as severe as death.

Vision tester has proven highly instrumental in many places. More health facility providers are now purchasing it for use in their various clinics. Training of the operators is also being conducted intensively to ensure correct diagnosis of complications is done.
