1.1. List of supplied elements
The following elements should be found inside the packaging:
Visiolite® External medical power plug IEC60601 (reference: GTM41060-2512 GLOBTEK manufacturing, UL
certification: E175861)
USB lead (for computerised versions only) Visiolite® software installation CD with user manual included (for computerised versions only) Driver remote control (for remote control versions only) Cloth for cleaning lenses Forehead rest Response forms CD (for remote control versions only) Information sheet
1.2. Presentation
We recommend reading these instructions thoroughly before use.
This user manual is intended for Visiolite® operators, whatever the chosen model (Essential, Modulus, Master or Master-GT).
Only a practitioner can direct a patient to an ophthalmologist in order to confirm the Visiolite® results obtained. The ophthalmologist will perform further tests to prescribe visual correction or surgical intervention.
The Visiolite® is a screening device designed by FIM MEDICAL for the exploration of visual function. The Visiolite® currently operates with two driving modes, depending on the model (refer § 1.4):
Remote control version Computerised version
Designed for maximum ergonomics, the Visiolite® is equipped with a detector that detects the position of the patient’s forehead. Once the patient is correctly positioned, the test begins.
The Visiolite® is designed to progressively adapt the patient to different light levels depending on the type of test performed. Tests can be performed on three light levels:
High photopic Low photopic Mesopic
Depending on the version, the practitioner can parameter sequences in order to define which tests are to be performed systematically, depending on needs. The Visiolite® is equipped with several optical effects and mirrors to perform near (33cm/13inches), intermediate (60cm/23.6inches) and far (5m/16.4ft) vision tests. Tests can also be performed in monocular or binocular vision. For computerised versions, results are recorded directly onto the computer. For remote control versions, results are recorded on response forms.
Innovative solutions have considerably reduced the weight of the device and expanded the range of available tests requiring no operator manipulation of the device. The device also integrates the latest high technology: a lighting principle that preserves slide quality over time.

2.4. Precautions before tests
The device operates on the basis of binocular fusion. The operator must ensure the patient has adequate fusion to perform the test. Before all tests, the operator should ask the patient if he or she generally wears glasses or contact lenses. Photosensitive patients may perform the tests in low photopic, for more comfort during the tests.
The patient should be placed in an environment adapted to tests. Ensure there is no intense lighting that may reflect on the Visiolite® optics, particularly for the glare test, where strong lateral light sources would disrupt the test. Do not place the device near a window. For the glare test, the user must inform the patient of the test procedure. During the test, always explain to the patient which optotypes he or she is in the process of studying (eg: number of lines, letters, etc.).
The medical personnel must ensure the patient is calm when performing the test and that he or she has understood the aim of the screening. The operator controls the Visiolite® back-lighting, which progressively increases in intensity to enable the patient to become accustomed to the light levels. The operator may drive the Visiolite® in low photopic for patient comfort. The operator should ensure the patient leaves the room safely after performing the glare test (no visual problems, headache or fatigue).
2.5. Interpretation of results
Patient results should al ways be accompanied by an explanation from the practitioner The Visiolite® may not be used for medical treatment. It can under no circumstances be used as the
basis for medication prescriptions, pre- or post-surgical diagnoses, or any other type of prescription
The Visiolite® may not be used to determine the aptitude of an individual to perform a certain task. This
can only be established by the doctor responsible for the tests, in conjunction with other medical expertise
The Visiolite® is a screening device for visual problems. Only an ophthalmologist is qualified to confirm
Visiolite® results, in conjunction with other tests, to prescribe correction or surgical intervention

Visual acuity is determined by the identification of black symbols on a white background, called optotypes.
The Visiolite® uses several different visual acuity charts that:
Vary the optotypes so as to avoid voluntary or involuntary memorisation Test illiterate persons Test persons who only recognise numbers Test morphoscopic vision (recognition of shapes) Test the power of separation (recognition of a detail) Test low vision (less than 1/10th)
Different charts test binocular and monocular vision.
The choice and shape of symbols is rigorously defined to increase efficiency of optotype identification.
An acuity test, or chart, contains several levels of visual acuity (several lines).
A level of visual acuity is represented by 6 distinct optotypes grouped on the same line.
The different levels of acuity presented constitute the acuity scale.
A number corresponding to the level of visual acuity expressed in tenths: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12 (depending on the equipment) is represented on the left of each line
.
A level of visual acuity is validated when 4 of the 6 optotypes of this acuity are correctly identified.

5.2. Contrast sensitivity test
Contrast sensitivity test
5.2.1. Purpose
Demonstrates a decrease in contrast sensitivity. Contrast sensitivity is typically a retinal function and a decrease can indicate an alteration of the retina. It is also decreased in certain diseases such as cataracts and chronic glaucoma.
Decrease in contrast sensitivity is physiological in night vision.
The acuity level of this test is constant (3.2 /10). Only the contrast decreases with each letter, from 100 to 1.2 %.
5.2.2. Patient instructions
“From the first line, read all the letters”.

5.3.1. Purpose
Demonstrates a deficiency of far, intermediate or near vision.
5.3.2. Definition
Black shapes are presented on both red and green backgrounds.
Clearer vision (or blacker) on a red or green background indicates ametropia.
5.3.3. Patient instructions
“Are the black circles clearer, or blacker, in the green or the red, or are they the same?”
Note the response on the response form.
5.3.4. Expected responses
Similar perception on both backgrounds indicates normal far vision Clearer, or blacker, vision on the red background indicates a myopic tendency Clearer, or blacker, vision on the green background indicates a hyperopic tendency or presbyopia of
near vision. If this is noted with far vision, a hyperopia test is indicated

5.4. Astigmatism test
5.4.1. Purpose
Astigmatism is an important source of eye strain, particularly in intense conditions or poor lighting (screen work or night driving with glare from oncoming vehicle lights).
5.4.2. Definition
The astigmatism test is composed of an astigmatic dial with 7 branches numbered from 1 to 7.
5.4.3. Prerequisite
This test should be performed in monocular mode.
The operator should look at each of the branches consecutively.
5.4.4. Patient instructions
Are some of the lines blacker or clearer?”
Note the responses on the response form.
5.4.5. Expected responses
If the patient perceives some branches less clear, or greyer, than others, the eye is probably astigmatic.
Normally all the branches should be perceived in the same way. A branch that is clearer in direction 4 indicates vertical or direct astigmatism. On the contrary, if the branches are clearer in directions 1 and 7, this indicates horizontal or inverse astigmatism. These directions indicate different optical strength in the particular meridian, as the corneal astigmatism is toric, rather than perfectly spherical.
A ‘clearer in directions 1, 4 and 7’ response is thus impossible, and the Visiolite® operator is alerted by a question mark. Generally, in these cases, after repeating the test with clear instructions, the response would be interpreted as ‘identical’.
“Oblique” astigmatism also exists and is more difficult to correct, sometimes persisting despite correction. In this case, the response would be given in either the 2 or 3 meridian, or the 5 and 6. A simultaneous response: 2, 3, 5, 6 is impossible.
Sometimes a meridian astigmatism is only detected by varying focal length. Astigmatism could thus be tested in near vision, or after addition of the hyperopia lens in far vision. Of course, detection for astigmatism in near or intermediate vision is useless, if it is present in far vision.
Lastly, this device only screens “regular” astigmatisms. Other, “irregular” astigmatisms, notably on corneal scars, are screened by ophthalmologists.

5.5. Phorias test
5.5.1. Purpose
The phorias test checks parallelism of the ocular axes at physiological rest.
All phorias (heterophoria) translate as eye strain (asthenopia), notably in intense conditions (screen work).
Eventually heterophoria, coupled with fatigue, can become diplopia (double vision). This test is particularly interesting for screening latent heterophorias.
5.5.2. Interpretation limits
This test is only significant when visual acuity in the right and left eyes is practically identical. This test cannot be interpreted if there are large differences in acuity between the two eyes. In this case, the heterophoria would not be due to eye strain, as the better eye takes over and becomes dominant.
5.5.3. Definition
A grid containing 9 areas numbered from 1 to 9 is presented to the left eye, while a white dot is presented to the right eye. Without neutralization of one of the images by the brain, the two images should superimpose.
Localization of the white dot on one of the numbered zones of the grid qualifies the type of phoria of the patient:
5.5.4. Patient instructions
“In which direction is the dot moving?”
Note the area number on the response form.
5.5.5. Expected responses
The white dot is seen in:
Area 5: the ocular axes are parallel (orthophoria) Area 4: the ocular axes have a tendency to diverge horizontally (exophoria)
Area 6: the ocular axes have a tendency to converge horizontally (esophoria)

Area 2 or 8: the ocular axes have a tendency to diverge vertically (hyperphoria)
Orthophoria
Hyperphoria
Esophoria
Exophoria
If the white dot or the grid is not perceived, the brain has neutralised one of the images.
If the dot is perceived outside of the grid, the heterophoria is over 9 dioptres.
With this test, the Visiolite® can completely dissociate the two eyes, indirectly performing a well-known test, the cover test, but more easily and accurately. As such, when the patient attempts to dissociate the dot and the grid, their convergence function will be used. The dot will move in the opposite direction to that of the heterophoria. This direction is noted.
The yellow arrows can be used to
(1)
: drag-and-drop the arrow in the grid. A right-pointing arrow indicates initial movement of the dot (and thus of the eyeball) from inside to out— ESOPHORIA. A left-pointing arrow indicates initial movement of the dot from outside to inside— EXOPHORIA.
Caution
Dot movement is often fleeting, or non-existent (orthophoria): the questions should prepare the patient to indicate the movements of the dot in relation to the grid as soon as the test is presented and before the dot comes to rest
(2)
.
To render this test more sensitive, the Visiolite® presents the grid and the dot successively, with a slight time difference.
Caution
This test cannot be interpreted if there is an important difference between the two eyes. Also, ensure the patient does not close an eye during the test.
(1)Tick “dynamic phorias” option in the set-up parameters so that the arrows appear.
(2)When the dot does not move, simply click on the area where it is seen in the grid.

5.6. Depth perception test
5.6.1. Purpose
To qualify depth perception acuity.
This test can be useful, for example, for forklift operators who require precise docking of loads, or for perception of distances in vehicle driving.
5.6.2. Interpretation limits
Depth perception results from the brain integrating two slightly differently-positioned images. This test is only possible if both eyes have identical, or nearly identical, visual acuity and normal convergence (at least normal fusion). This test is impossible when there is an important difference in acuity between the two eyes, or disparity of fixation. However, total absence of depth perception acuity cannot be deduced so easily. Physiologically, even with low acuity in one eye, even to the point of simple light perception, and normal acuity in the other eye, depth perception vision is made through cerebral compensation. In theory, only one-eyed individuals cannot have depth perception vision.
5.6.3. Definition
Depth perception is screened with 6 separate, numbered boxes. Each box contains 4 shapes: a square, a circle, a star and a triangle.
For each box, one of the shapes has a binocular horizontal disparity, expressed in arcseconds (1 arcsecond = 1°/3600). This causes a stereoscopic parallax in relation to the three other shapes in the box. Consequently, this shape should be perceived by the patient in front of, or behind, the three other shapes. The value of binocular disparity is different for each box: large for the first box and decreasing by half for each consecutive box.
Normal depth perception acuity should perceive the disparities of all the tests.

5.7. Fusion test
5.7.1. Purpose
To check binocular vision.
Fusion is the ultimate phase in binocular vision. As for phorias, fusion requires good visual acuity in each eye. In the case of phoria anomaly, fusion can be obtained by stimulating the oculomotor muscles, which will correct the phorias. Failure of this test signifies anatomical impossibility of convergence, which is found in extreme cases of strabismus.
A fusion problem (which can range from fixation disparity to suppression of one of the two images) can be an important source of eye strain during screen work. The patient should see four dots for the test to be successful.
5.7.2. Definition
A group of white dots is presented to the patient with different patterns for each eye.
5.7.3. Patient instructions
“How many white dots can you see?”
Note the response on the response form.
5.7.4. Expected responses
4 points perceived indicates fusion: t he brain correctly superimposes the two images
coming from eac h of the eyes
2 point s perceive d indicates suppression : the brain neu tralises the image coming from the
right eye
3 point s perceive d indicates suppression : the brain neu tralises the image coming from the
left eye
5 points perceived indicates diplopia : the brain is unable to correctly superimpose the two
images coming f rom each eye

5.8.1. Purpose
Screening for central visual field deficiency.
5.8.2. Definition
The test is composed of a grid on a black background with a central white dot.
The user should focus on the central white dot.
5.8.3. Prerequisite
This test must be performed in monocular mode.
5.8.4. Patient instructions
“Are the horizontal and vertical lines perfectly straight?”
“Are any of the areas deformed?”
“Do any holes or black areas appear inside the grid?”
Note the response on the response form.
5.8.5. Expected responses
Distortion of lines, or metamorphopsia, could be associated with age-related macular degeneration An area in which the lines disappear is associated with macular scotoma (blind spot)

5.9. Colour perception test
5.9.1. Purpose
Chromatic deficiency screening. As well as exploration of congenital dyschromatopsias (as in the Ishihara-type tables), this test offers the possibility of exploring acquired dyschromatopsias.
These tests are particular in that they screen problems of colour vision in shaded areas and in the blue-yellow axis. These areas are not explored with the classical Ishihara test, which only explores the red-green axis, essentially affected in congenital deficiencies of colour vision.
The blue-yellow axis is predominantly affected in acquired dyschromatopsias, in particular those of toxic origin, of which this is an early sign. Moreover, this test is more sensitive due to the presentation of shades of colours close to neutral, allowing for device luminosity, calibrated for this type of test (high photopic mode).
5.9.2. Definition
The test presented is a pseudo-isochromatic of the Ishihara type.
Colour perception is checked using 6 distinctly numbered boxes.
Each box, or plate is composed of a matrix of dots of variable height, shade and colour.
Areas of similarly-colored dots are defined to form numbers. A number composed of two digits appears in each box. Colours are chosen so that an abnormality in the perception of colours makes it difficult to recognise certain numbers.
The total tests present 12 lines of chromatic confusion in the three axes:
Protan (red) Deutan (green) Tritan ( blue-yellow)
In all the six numbers presented, each number indicates a line of confusion.
E.g: within the number 81, failure to recognise the digit 8 indicates a tritan (blue) type deficiency, characteristic when the cones of the superficial layer of the retina are affected.
Failure to recognise the digit 1 indicates a deficiency of the deutan (green) type, which may be seen when the deep layers of the cones of the retina are affected, as the “4” of 45 tends to indicate a deficiency of the protan (red) type, when the same deep layers are affected.
These screening findings are summarized in the table on the following page.
5.9.3. Prerequisite
This test should be performed in high photopic mode. However, if the patient tested is blinded (blue-eyed people are subject), it can be performed in medium photopic mode, but never in low photopic mode.

The test should be performed in MONOCULAR vision. It requires acuity of at least 8/10. If acuity is lower, any abnormality of colour vision should be confirmed in intermediate or near vision (if the patient has a better acuity at these distances).

5.9.5. Interpretation limits
Responses do not constitute a formal diagnosis, merely a trend.
All types of abnormality can be present in the same patient, each abnormality expressed more or less completely.
As such, for example, expression of a protan type deficiency can range from a simple abnormality with confusion of shades in the red-green axis (protanomaly) to complete blindness to the colour red (protanopsia).
Responses are expressed as tendencies and conclusions are not drawn on one test only.
Only the repetition of tests during successive examinations can confirm or invalidate this tendency, in particular with exposure to solvents, or in the presence of a progressive pathology such as diabetes.
This test should be interpreted with caution in patients over 40 years of age, for who colour vision can be altered normally.

Its main aim is to determine certain aptitudes; it does not serve to establish a diagnosis even if, in certain cases, screening is successful. Specialist diagnostic tests exist for this purpose (Goldman perimeter, etc …).
An abnormal result should be interpreted with care, particularly for the nasal visual field (the shape of the nose could impede visibility of the light signal). In the lateral visual field, the patient’s glasses frames may be a hindrance.

5.11. Glare sensitivity test (Master-GT version)
Caution: The glare sensitivity test may hold risks for the patient. Don’t forget to take into account
any medical contraindications (refer § 2.3).
5.11.1. Purpose
The glare sensitivity test provides rapid screening by simulating the disturbance caused by lights when passing a vehicle at night.
Glare sensitivity test
The optotypes are designed so that the patient is not able to guess the words without reading them. Words chosen are either:
random letters or names of Czech Republic towns
The size of characters is acuity: 3.2/10 and 4/10 so as not to render this test more difficult.
The positioning of objects in the driving scene is important. These are positioned in several places with different contrasts, so as to simulate the difficulties in vehicle-driving conditions.

“Name each element that you see in the scene”.
Click on the objects seen
5.12. Glare resistance test (Master-GT version)
Caution: The glare resistance test may hold risks for the patient. Don’t forget to take into account
any medical contraindications (refer § 2.3).
5.12.1. Purpose
The glare resistance test is only for information. It is secondary to the sensitivity test presented in § 0. This test measures the recovery time of the patient’s vision when submitted to a high source of light.
5.12.2. Principle
This test requires a precise protocol, integrated in this option. After a few seconds of adaptation, the software presents firstly a visual acuity test based on the “Binocular Mesopic Letters”. The patient is blinded for 10 seconds. The device then displays a visual acuity test based on the “Binocular Mesopic Numbers”. The aim is to measure the recovery time of the patient’s visual acuity.

Note: If the patient demonstrates difficulty with a line, it is preferable to directly choose the line above.
The Amsler grid is used on the patient so as to induce a scotoma. The glare lasts for 10 seconds.
The operator should insist that the patient focus on the central circle.
Final test phase.
The patient’s visual acuity is evaluated on the basis of
numbers presented in mesopic light. The aim is to measure the recovery time and to avoid memorization of the first test performed.
The operator notes the best acuity.
Note: Do not continue longer than two minutes.
