Lower cost solution with more functionality and flexibility than a projector?

For offices that are migrating to paperless solutions for maintaining patient records. This is a very low cost solution to a high tech acuity chart. If the computer for the paperless office is a laptop or tablet personal computer that supports a second monitor (most current offering from laptop and tablet vendors do), the hardware cost is that of a LCD monitor, a mounting bracket and a long video cable. Total hardware cost for extending a paperless office to this solution is approximately $300. For an office without a paperless setup, a laptops or PCs with dual monitor capability are available for less than $1000 U.S. from multiple computer vendors. This software is available for an introductory price of $649 U.S.. For offices with multiple lanes discounts are available for mulitple same location licenses. For less than $1000 (offices with paperless computer system installed) or $2000 for a ground up system, a new flexible high tech solution can be part of your patient's experience.

What advantages are there of using a computer monitor based solution over projectors?

The contrast available from the LCD monitor is higher than a project. The results are equal to or better than a high contrast printed chart with optimal lighting. The contrast of the digital eye chart can be adjusted in two ways: either by adjusting monitor settings or in the chart set up by adjusting the contrast of the display. Completely adjustable from full contrast available from the monitor to 0 contrast.

How is the control of this chart easier than projectors and other computer based charts?

Easy operation from control window on the doctors computer. A remote control is not used with this software. The doctor uses an easy graphical user interface on the doctors computer monitor to control the chart displayed on the wall, instead of a remote control. The chart data is displayed on the doctors screen as well as the wall chart for easy validation of patient response without turning to look at the chart. Set up is also much easier than a typical projector. Calibration of letter size is set in a setup screen. The size of the E on the setup screen is simply toggled up or down until it is the required size for the distance of the screen from the patient. For offices with less than 9.5 ft viewing distance a mirrored set up with the monitor mounted on the back wall of the exam room is recommended.
