You ‘eard it from Evans…

When you’re not using your test equipment, please switch it off. These days, bulbs (highly expensive!) run at such a high temperature, they blacken after a time and performance suffers as a result.

Here’s another one - if using a non-contact tonometer, please ensure that the front lens is kept clean, as tears can easily cause a mis-reading.

 
Why our Screen is the best around ...

It is generally acknowledged that our Co-Ordimeter Screens come from the most experienced manufacturers - Evans (Instruments)! Barry Evans has over thirty years’ experience in manufacturing this product.

Our latest Mk V version has all the original benefits, whilst using the latest manufacturing techniques. The two metal boxes have white translucent screens, printed with a tangent pattern on the inner surface - only seen when illuminated. The screens are set precisely at right angles and dissociation is achieved by the use of a
  mirror system. The mirror is carried on a septum arm, hinged top and bottom, variable at a 45 degree angle on each screen.

Each screen can be illuminated individually, with the other screen being lit (for checking the fixation position of the examination eye), via a pneumatic foot switch.

Two wands come with the system, for both the patient and the practitioner. There is also a free standing unit of cupboards available, enabling the screen to be operated as part of an
unattached storage and display unit. Other methods of mounting are available.

For further advice or information, please ask us.
See below for our details.

 
A Diagnostic Occluder Set with a difference!
The Shapiro-Evans set has twenty tests on two paddles, that’s everything from distance visual acuity testing to stereo and colour tests. The set itself is neat, coming as it does in a handy case that includes a visor and the occluder.
There has never been a better instrument than this, combining the experience of Barry Evans and Jonathan Shapiro, a creative innovator in optometric instrument design. Why not request a data sheet?
