This Occluder is designed to help in the precise measurement of visual acuity. By covering one eye, it allows the practitioner to test the visual performance of the other eye individually, ensuring accurate results

One side of the handle features a millimetre scale, which is useful for measuring inter-pupillary distance (IPD) and ptosis (drooping of the upper eyelid). This scale provides precise measurements, aiding in the accurate diagnosis and treatment planning
The other side of the handle incorporates a white dot, which serves as a scotometry target or fixation point. This feature is particularly useful during visual field testing and helps in maintaining the patient’s focus during the examination
The Romanes Occluder is made from high-quality materials, ensuring durability and long-term use. Its lightweight and portable design make it easy to carry and use in various clinical settings, including home visits

It is an indispensable tool for eye care professionals. Its multifunctional design, including visual acuity assessment, cover test capabilities, millimetre scale, and fixation point, makes it a comprehensive and reliable accessory for accurate visual examinations
