Visiosmart 500: a Comprehensive Visual Screening Medical Device
The Visiosmart 500 from Essilor is a Class I medical device for automatic vision screening. Designed for use in doctors' surgeries, ophthalmology clinics or any screening centre, it can perform a series of standardised tests in just a few minutes. The device assesses near and far visual acuity, daytime and mesopic vision, contrast sensitivity and recovery after glare. Thanks to its autonomous operation and voice instructions via headphones, it ensures reliable and reproducible screening, tailored to the needs of healthcare professionals.
Protocols Adapted to Each Age and Situation
The Visiosmart 500 includes four test protocols covering different age groups, from 7 years old to seniors. These protocols take into account the visual needs of patients based on their activity and age. They include tests such as monocular and binocular acuity, horizontal visual field assessment, fusion tests, colour recognition using Ishihara plates and contrast sensitivity. For drivers, the device also analyses recovery after glare and vision in low light conditions. By providing quickly interpretable results, the system facilitates referral to an ophthalmologist when necessary.
Ergonomics, Comfort and Traceability of Results
Compact and ergonomic, the Visiosmart 500 is equipped with a fixed forehead rest to ensure that the patient's head remains stable. Its external screen and intuitive interface simplify test configuration and execution. Results are presented in clear, structured reports with simple interpretations of vision quality. Wi-Fi connectivity allows reports to be sent automatically by email, ensuring reliable traceability and easy follow-up. With a screening time of between two and five minutes, this device is a practical and effective tool for eye care professionals.
