Automated vision screening apparatus and method
A system and method for automatic visual acuity screening, including: a vision self testing kiosk for performing a visual acuity test. The vision kiosk has a stimulus and multiple mirrors. An image is projected from the stimulus and reflects off of each of the mirrors before exiting the vision kiosk. The mirrors are mounted on a mirror box to define an optical path from the stimulus to a user using the vision kiosk. A microprocessor connected to vision kiosk is able to receive input from the user and report results of vision testing.
1. A system for automatic visual acuity screening, comprising:
vision test instrumentation coupled to a kiosk for performing a visual acuity test, wherein the vision test instrumentation comprises a stimulus and a plurality of mirrors, an image projected from the stimulus reflecting off of each of the plurality of mirrors before exiting the vision test instrumentation, the plurality of mirrors mounted on a mirror box to define an optical path from the stimulus to a user using the vision test instrumentation;
a microprocessor in electrical communication with the vision test instrumentation;
an input/output communication means in electrical communication with the microprocessor; and
a reporting means in electrical communication with the microprocessor.
2. The system of claim 1 , further comprising remote management software.
3. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a CRM system.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein said reporting means is a touch screen.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein said communication means is a visual communication means; an audio communication means; a touch screen; or a keyboard or any combination thereof.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein said test instrumentation comprises software and/or screens adapted to present subjective vision tests.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein said kiosk is adapted to have a wireless internet connection.
