ZEISS presents ZEISS VISUCORE 500 – a high-precision system that combines objective and subjective refraction. Thanks to its sleek design, sophisticated technology, and well-thought-out software, ZEISS VISUCORE 500 quickly delivers precise data – regardless of the size of the refraction room or the level of experience of the staff.
Fast, practical and efficient: adapted to customer needs
Consumers lead busy lives, so there is definite value in a quick eye test that doesn’t take up too much of their time. Consumers often find a drawn-out process unsettling and may think it is their fault because they may have said something wrong during the assessment process. ZEISS VISUCORE 500 has stored a streamlined yet safe and precise refraction process workflow. This enables professionals – regardless of their level of training – to obtain final objective and subjective refraction values quickly.
The demands for a digital, holistic experience when visiting an eye care professional have also grown. ZEISS VISUCORE 500 reflects exactly that: a state-of-the-art instrument that automatically guides you through the process – and where even the near refraction is digital. This doesn’t only allow the eye care professional to work to a high level of precision, but it also demonstrates the high standard and professionalism of work in the optical store.
ZEISS VISUCORE 500: The ideal tool when space is limited
Rents are high in cities and metropolitan areas and also in shopping malls. At the same time, the space available is limited. This poses a challenge for optical stores in particular regarding the traditional refraction room. For this reason, ZEISS VISUCORE 500 is designed to only take up eight square feet, respectively 0.8 square meters, and can therefore be integrated even into small stores. Built-in mirrors and a lens make it possible to physically create an optical distance of five meters.
Shortage of skilled workers in the optical industry
Many specialty stores have difficulty finding staff – and employees often have varying educational backgrounds. The ZEISS VISUCORE 500 modes of operation ensure that no matter what their educational background, staff can perform correct and precise refraction.
Three different modes of operation are offered for this purpose – some of which will already be familiar to eye care professionals from the existing ZEISS refraction units: Workflow Mode (defined, more complex processes), Freestyle Mode (professional mode with individual chart composition) and the new Guided Mode. The Guided Mode takes users through the refraction process step by step, regardless of their level of qualification and experience. Whether the user is a student or an expert, they can work according to detailed yet user-friendly instructions. If values are suspicious during refraction, detailed information and instructions on how to resume correct refraction are given. A consistent and very high level of quality in the refraction results can thus be achieved, regardless of the employee conducting the process.
Seamlessly integrated into the ZEISS ecosystem
ZEISS VISUCORE 500 can be seamlessly integrated into the ZEISS ecosystem. It is controlled via ZEISS VISUCONSULT 500. There is, of course, no longer any need for manual data transfers. As part of the overall process in the optical store, the refraction values are transferred to the available centration unit as the next step and ultimately become an automated part of the order via ZEISS VISUSTORE.
ZEISS VISUCORE 500 is available since spring 2023 on the US market and will be gradually offered in other markets worldwide in the near future.
