The Vision Optimizer allows the patient to look at images in a two-foot telescope-grade mirror and use hand controls to produce maximum quality and clarity.  The plan is to offer a variety of familiar settings with various lighting to make the exam a fun, engaging, lifelike experience.

Digital Vision expects to have a prototype system up and running in the next six months.   Read more here>
