Questions and answers
How to change the size for a different room distance?
To change the size settings for the Reichert ClearChart 4 for different room distances:
1. Use the MAX and MIN buttons to adjust the testing distance from the patient’s eye to the screen.
2. The units (inches or centimeters) depend on whether ENGLISH or METRIC was selected earlier in setup.
3. If MIRRORED was selected in the ROOM setup, enter two distances:
- First, the distance from the patient to the mirror.
- Then, the distance from the mirror to the screen.
4. Press the DOWN arrow when finished.
These settings help ensure the correct optotype size is displayed based on the room setup.
