The Roles 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.

There are a number of eye defects which are usually detected by this machine. The first problem is short sight. This is the kind of problem in which the affected individual is only able to see the objects which are close to them. Objects beyond a given distance cannot be seen clearly. The distance beyond which objects cannot be seen well determines the severity of the complication and this is what is considered when offering the correct remedy.

Other people may have the capacity to see objects which are distant from them, but not those placed very close to them. It this case, the image of the close objects is also poorly focused. Thus, their images are formed behind the retina rather than on the retina. These people too need aids in order to view the images the way they are supposed to be. This problem however is not as prevalent as the short sightedness.

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.

There are a number of merits as well as demerits associated with this kind of equipment. There are some which are small in size. These ones therefore make portability from one place to another very easy. When conducting tests, the patients and the operator are not strained at all, making the exercise comfortable for both of them. Operation also does not require much skill.

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 served a number of health centers very well. Most people appreciate the service of this equipment so much. Through its use, people have had their sight restored. The centers having it on their part generate very good amounts of income just from its use.
