ERK-BH

After a patient is situated comfortably using the motorized chinrest, clinicians can take advantage of an enhanced no-load joystick for alignment. Once aligned, the ERK-BH performs refraction and keratometry with one press of the joystick button. The ERK-BH can get precise measurements on even the most myopic of patients with its expansive dioptric measurement range (-30D to +25D). By directing the patient’s view to the peripheral eye fixation lamps, peripheral corneal curvature measurements can be taken with the tap of a button. The ERK-BH has an equally exceptional range for curvature radius measurements (5.0 mm to 13.0 mm).

Peripheral corneal curvatures can be measured by having the examinee look at the peripheral eye fixation lamps. Measuring the corneal periphery helps examine irregular astigmatism, and also helps determine a better fitting for a contact lens. There are two lighting modes for the peripheral eye fixation lamps: AUTO / MANU.

The CF(Comparison of vision function) mode allows the examiness to experience the corrected vision by applying additional degrees. If the examinee is not presbyopia or primitive, it may be difficult to feel the effect.

Not only can the practitioner obtain measurements for the usual refractometry and keratometry, but they can also measure corneal diameter and base curve for contact lens fitting. Thus, measurements of the eye and measurements for prescriptions glasses and contact lenses can be obtained more efficiently.

The diameter of cornea can be measured in SIZE Mode for prescribing contact lens. The size of pupil can also measured to see how much it is dilated, and the size of contact lens can be measured without having the examinee remove it.

By directing a light into the pupil, you can observe the condition of cataract or scratches on contact lens on the monitor in ILLUM Mode.

The built-in software of the ERK-BH enables easy diameter measurements using the freeze mode, where measurements of the diameter of the cornea, pupil or hard contact lenses worn by the patient can be taken. By simply touching and dragging the screen with your finger, these measurements are calculated exactly.

Image quality is guaranteed with the device’s improved retroillumination mode, which helps expose troublesome faults or damage to hard contact lenses. In addition, this device has built-in calculations for patients with intraocular lenses or cataracts.

Ten images and results from both eyeballs can be checked simultaneously through an enhanced display control system.

Black/White User Interface Option
The user can select a Black or White user interface according to their preference.

To make measurements of a cataract patient easier, simply turn on the "IOL" function.

The equipment system can detect automatic height adjustment of the pupil position, reducing exam time. With the click of a button, the user can switch from Auto to manual tracking mode. Measurement convenience and accuracy are increased through the addition of lever-handling guide images, designed to easily track eyeball focus.

An optician can easily determine if a patient needs to wear progressive lenses through a pre-correction vision simulation. The patient can compare the effects before and after the correction through a short-distance vision simulation.

Operation and setup are a breeze with the ERK-BH’s expanded 7 inch (800x480) LCD touchscreen monitor. Users can avoid neck and back strain with the enhanced flexibility of the touchscreen, which can swivel up and down by 180° and 135-145° left and right. By tapping an icon, the user can change various settings without skipping a beat.

The screen can be shared from all directions, regardless of the positioning of the patient or the examiner.

The data from the ten most recent exams can be uploaded with othe touch of a button, and a built-in printer allows users make print records during the examination. Data can easily be transferred using a USB or RS-232 cable.

Simply touch the icon on the screen to see any changed settings. The touch screen supports interactive setting changes quickly and conveniently to save the user precious time.

The chinrest is motorized and can be adjusted by the operator using a conveniently positioned switch. This design makes for simple adjustment of the chinrest when switching from patient to patient. The motor is controlled easily by pressing the switch up or down.

The no-load joy stick ensures a softer and enhanced eye examination, as the user can take the measurement without vibrational interference. This system allows for a more accurate measurement in comparison to the previously adopted belt type joystick.

The main body of the machine can easily be fixed to the base with the convenient one-touch lock.

The ERK-BH provides an immediate and complete printout of measurement results and an auto printer cutter is included for extra convenience. An economy printer mode can be used to save printer paper by displaying results in a more compact manner and amending the letter size.

The ERK-BH can connect to several other digital ophthalmic instruments by Ezer to serve as the hub of the digitally-enabled exam room. Data can be entered or transferred directly from compatible devices, and the control box can operate many of the different functions of each device.
