Visionstar JD-2000

Thermal Printer Fitted

A thermal printer is listed on this model, described by the manufacturer as giving quick data printing with easy reloading of the printing paper itself.

Adjustable Tilting Display

The colour LCD tilts, which the manufacturer relates to a clear view from any position, whether the operator is sitting or standing at the instrument.

Sphere, Cylinder and Add

Sphere reads 0 to plus or minus 25D, cylinder 0 to plus or minus 9.9D and add 0 to 9.99D, each selectable at 0.01, 0.12 or 0.25D resolution steps.

Automatic Lens Recognition

Single, progressive and automatic recognition modes are provided, so the instrument identifies a single or progressive lens without the operator declaring it.

Progressive Measurement Graph

A graph assists during progressive measurement, which the manufacturer relates to improved accuracy and speed across both near and far vision alike.

High Speed Ultraviolet Reading

The lens is held through the sensor and the display indicates the ultraviolet measurement on a progress bar, which the manufacturer describes as high speed.

Prism and Contact Lenses

Prism is presentable in X-Y or P-B form, cylinder as plus, plus and minus or minus, and both soft and hard contact lenses can be measured on the instrument.

Touch Operation and Portability

A sensitive touch screen completes a measurement, lens diameter runs 20 to 108mm, measuring speed is 0.1s and the whole instrument weighs just 6kg altogether.

Practices Handing Records to Patients

A printed slip at the instrument is the whole reason to choose this model over the printerless one. Where a patient queries a new pair, or wants the figures for their own records, producing them on paper at the moment of measurement is quicker and more convincing than promising to send something later, and it removes the copying copying step where errors most commonly enter into a record.

Progressive Lens Verification

Automatic recognition and the progressive graph together address the lens type that causes the most difficulty. Measuring a progressive lens in single vision mode gives a plausible wrong answer, and that error is easiest to make on a busy bench. An instrument that identifies the lens for itself removes a whole category of mistake from the routine verification work of that kind.

Coating and Tolerance Checks

High speed ultraviolet measurement lets a practice confirm what a lens actually transmits before a finished pair reaches the patient, and 0.01D resolution settles tolerance questions definitively. Printed together on one slip, those two figures answer most of what a practice has to demonstrate when a pair is queried after collection by the patient.

Shared Consulting Rooms

A tilting screen and a 6kg weight suit an instrument read from different positions and carried between rooms. Where a dispensing table is used both seated with a patient and standing up alone, a fixed display forces the operator to stoop or to crane, and small daily awkwardness is what makes staff avoid a piece of equipment altogether, or else rush through the use of it.

Evidence Produced at the Bench

A printer upon the instrument means the figures exist on paper the very moment they are taken, without depending on somebody remembering to write them all down afterwards. For a practice resolving a query about a pair of spectacles, a slip produced at the point of measurement carries considerably more weight with a patient than a number recited from memory, or else copied out afterwards into a paper file.

A Clear Choice Within the Range

This model and its printerless sibling vary, upon the published data, in exactly one single respect. That makes the whole decision unusually simple indeed: a practice that wants paper at the instrument takes this one, and a practice that records everything electronically need not pay for a function that it will never use. Specification sheets rarely make the actual difference between any two models quite that plain.

The Instrument Knows the Lens

Automatic recognition removes a decision that the operator would otherwise have to get right every single time. A progressive lens measured in the wrong mode will return a figure that looks entirely reasonable and is not correct, which is the most dangerous kind of error, because nothing about it prompts a second look from whoever happens to be reading the screen at that moment.

The Visionstar JD-2000 reads sphere from 0 to plus or minus 25D, cylinder from 0 to plus or minus 9.9D and add from 0 to 9.99D, each selectable at 0.01, 0.12 or 0.25D steps, with axis across 0 to 180 degrees. Lens diameter is accepted from 20 to 108mm, pupillary distance reads 40 to 90mm in 0.5mm steps, and measuring speed is 0.1s. Single, progressive and automatic recognition modes are provided with a graph assisting progressive work, ultraviolet measurement is reported on a progress bar, and both soft and hard contact lenses are measured. A thermal printer and a 7 inch tilting touch screen are fitted, and the instrument weighs 6kg.

Three points are handled deliberately. The card lists a thermal printer on this model where one of the three has none, and that is the stated difference. The published specification is otherwise identical across all three, so what separates this model from the other printing one is a question for Medigear.uk. And the prism row is labelled as prism degree with a dioptre unit, where prism is conventionally expressed in prism dioptres.
