3. Usage (1) Setting (A) Installation to eye inspection stand (B) Horizontal control Turn the horizontal control knob (4) so that air bubble in the standard part (5) comes to the *mark. (C) Set of near point card Insert the card holder (30) in the tip of near point range finder. Since near point range finder is divided into tow at the middle point, set the display surfaces (inch displays) of them together. The card folder slides and moves on near point range finder. Insert near point card (29) into the spring which is stuck on the card folder like (fig.5). Next, insert a near point range finder in near point range finder attachment part (28) and fix with near point range finder fixation screw (27). Incidentally, when not using, stand it like (fig.6).
(fig.5)
(fig.6)
(fig.7) （D) Set of cheek support Put cheek support in cheek support (25) like (fig.7), and insert and fix it on the frame of eye inspection window (21).
(2). Spherical lens When setting only the spherical degree (writing with S below), set assistance lens knob (10) to 0 or 0_, and turn astigmatic lens knob (15) so that scale of astigmatic number (14) displays .00. When turning spherical lens dial (12) in this condition, it is possible to set the interval of -19.00 -0.00 +16.75D in spherical degree scale (11) to 0.25D scale with the diopter (written as D below) display to set a lens. Since it is displayed with 3 digits or 4 digits of the figure, when 025 is displayed, read as 0.25D and when 1125 is displayed, read as 11.25D. To make the degree of the lens change faster, turn spherical lens knob (13) to change S every 3.00D.

(3). Astigmatic lens When astigmatic lens knob (15) is turned, 0.00-6.00D are set in the 0.25-D scale and the astigmatic degree (written as C below) is displayed in astigmatic scale (14). See (fig.10). Incidentally because the astigmatic lens of this instrument adopts a cloud fog expression regulation eye method (the P11 reference), all negatives are adopted. A needed astigmatic axis (astigmatic lens axis) is set when turning astigmatic axis knob (16) and adjusting an index to astigmatic axis scale (17). See (fig.12).
(fig.10)
(fig.11)
(4). Accessory lens When it is not possible to measure astigmatic degree only with the cylinder lens (Max.6D) which was incorporated into the body, insert the auxiliary lens C-2.00(32) which is included in assistance lens box in regulation eye window (21) so that it is possible to spread a measuring range. (Up to Max. 8D) Incidentally, at that time, surely set the pin which is stuck on the back of auxiliary lens C-2.00(32) in the pinhole which is inside astigmatic axis assistance scale (20). (When a pin is shifted, the error may occur to the astigmatic degree and the angle.) Also, when wanting to set an astigmatic degree at smaller step then 0.25D step, set auxiliary lens C-0.12 (32) as above-mentioned, so that it is possible to measure at 0.12D step.

(RED MADDOX ROD IN VERTICAL) R side : Red Maddox is horizontally stored. (RED MADDOX ROD IN HORIZONTAL) R side : Transparent Maddox is perpendicularly stored. (WHITE MADDOX ROD IN VERTICAL) L side : Transparent Maddox is horizontally stored. (WHITE MADDOX ROD IN HORIZONTAL) L side : A red filter is included. (RED FILTER) R side : A green filter is included. (GREEN FILTER) L side : It is a +0.12D spherical lens. It is possible to set spherical degree with 0.12scale. (+.12D SPHERICAL LENS). : The pinholes with diameter of 1mm are open. This is used to judge the decline of the eyesight is because of the ametropia or another cause. (PIN HOLE) : It is used for inspection of the perpendicular inclination with the prism of 10△ Base in (inside of the base). L side (10D PRISM BASE IN) : Used for inspection of the horizontal inclination and so on with the prism of 6△ Base up (top of the base). R side (6 D PRISM BASE UP) : Cross cylinder of +/- 0.50D in which positive axis is included, used for presbyopia test. : Used for sheltering (OCCLUDER) 8
(6). Cross cylinder Used for precise measurement of the astigmatic degree and the astigmatic axis, and presbyopia straightening and distance spherical surface degree. When setting crossing cylinder (18) at the regulation eye window, have and do the crossing cylinder. See (fig.15).
(fig.14) (fig.15) The central axis of inversion knob shows axis (Axis), the letter of P shows degree (Power). Also, the white point of the inner frame is displaying the position of the positive axis and the red point is displaying the position of the negative axis. The axial direction and the degree are changed by turning the outer frame. It is possible to switch a positive axis and a negative axis by turning inversion knob (19). Incidentally, the cross cylinder of +/- 0.37D and +/- 0.50D are available as an option.
(7). Rotating prism Like （fig.16）, turn the rotating prism (8) with the arm part outside the prism to set to regulation eye window (21). See (fig.16) and (fig.17).
(fig.16) (fig.17) Turn prism revolving knob (9) in (fig.17) to change prism degree. Since prism degree in the (fig.17) is 0, which means transparent. In (fig.18), since 0 of the prism degree scale is above and the pointer of the prism shows 3, it means inside 3 prism base (3△BI). In (fig.19), when whole equipment is turned with outside knurled part of rotating prism from above-mentioned state, the direction of the prism base changes and shows (3△BU) on top of 3 prism base. (However, fig.18 and fig.19 are for the right eye.)

(8). Cornea sight equipment
」 (fig.20) (fig.21) When forehead support knob (22) is turned, forehead support (23) goes forward and backward. When peeping into the cornea sight window (24) about 30 cm before the window, while examinee place the forehead against forehead support (23), a sight and a scale are observed like (fig.21). Look into the examinee’s eyes (the cornea surface) while adjusting the sight and length of the scale. If the position of the eyes is on the length line, eye inspection data which was measured in this condition becomes the degree of the spectacle lens which comes to 12 positions from the cornea surface. Also, the short line is 2 intervals from the length line. If the cornea surface is on the 2nd short line from the length line, it means that a spectacle lens degree is measured on the position of (4mm) 12+4=16mm. When the measurement distance is different from the distance for the glasses wearing, it is necessary to revise in accordance with table 1 or 2. Example 1: Ｗhen it is measured at distance on 4mm (2nd short line) from the length line, if the formula is S+8.00D, look at the part intersecting place of column +8.00D and column 4 in table 1, which shows 0.26. That is, the revision value is +0.26D. Lens degree is (+8.00) + (+0.26) =8.26D at 12cm from the eyes. Also, it is necessary to round off the numerical value after the revision to 0.25D or 0.12d step because of manufacture of the spectacle lens. There, in this case, it becomes +8.25 D. Example 2: When it is measured at distance on 3mm (middle of the 1st and short line) from the length line, if the formula is S-10.50D, look at the part intersecting place of column -10.00D and column -11.00D in table and obtain middle value of revision value: (0.29+0.35)/2=0.32 This numerical value is revision value. Therefore, lens degree is (-10.50) + (+0.32) =-10.18D at 12cm from the eyes.
10
Example 3: When it is measured at distance on 6mm (3rd short line) from the length line, if the formula is S-14.00D, look at the part intersecting place of column -14.00D and column 6 in table 2, which shows 1.08D. Therefore, lens degree at 12cm from the eyes: (-14.00) + (+1.08) =-12D The astigmatic degree is: (-14.00) + (-6.00) =-20D In intersecting place of column -20.00D and column 6 is 2.14 of a revision value. Therefore, lens degree at 12mm from the eyes is: (-20.00) + (2.14) =-17D Therefore, they are S-12.92D and C-4.94D. Incidentally, for a reference, when the measurement degree or the difference in measurement distance and wearing distance is odd, calculate an adjusting value, using the following formula. D’ = D +/- (L x D x D) / (1000 – L x D) D: Measurement degree (D) D’: Adjusting value (D) L: Difference in measurement distance and wearing distance (mm)

(9). Near point card Measure a glass degree at the short distance in addition to the distant view for the person of the presbyopia of multi-focus lens wearing and so on. For the way of setting of the near point range finder, near point card (29), and card holder (30), refers to above-mentioned 3-(1)-(C) in page 5. Lay it down so that near point finder stops from the position in (fig.6) like (fig.22). If the near point range finder becomes horizontal at this position, it is a measurement position. The scale of the near point range finder is cm (15-70) scale, inch (5-28) scale, and Dptr. (8-1.5) scale. Incidentally, near point range finder is cut in two for convenience in the package and in safekeeping. To set, adjust a pin and a ditch in the connection part so that the above-mentioned each scale continues. The numerical value which agreed with the both edge line of the card folder like (fig.23) shows a distance from the eyes to the card.
(fig.22) (fig.23) Next, choose a view token according to the eye inspection contents from the near point card which clings to the card folder. The set of the view token, when a reel in the lower part of the card is turned with the finger, it appears at the view token window.
View token number display window
(fig.24)
Also, when concentration lever (26) on either side is turned inside, as the principal axis of the lens turns to 30 c, this receptacle itself is concentrated and an ideal short distance test can be made. (See fig.25)

4. Eye inspection method The eye inspection method which is possible to do with this receptacle is explained. Before eye inspection with this receptacle, it is necessary to investigate in advance present eyesight and condition of examinee, record of eyes, P.D measurement, near point of being overcrowded and shelter test. We recommend mastering a basic eye inspection method to manage this receptacle effectively. Then, we assume one model and describe for convenience of explanation. “30 age adult Mr. A with glasses came to the shop.” *The reason for coming to the shop is “eyesight lack”. *The degree of the glasses used at present is examined with a lens-meter: P.D: 64 R: S-1.00D*C-0.50D A90* L: S-1.25D*C-0.50D A180* That is, Pupil distance: 64 Right eye: Spherical degree -1D, astigmatic degree -0.50D, axis 90* Left eye: Spherical degree -1D, astigmatic degree 0.50D, axis 180* Both eyes were 0.7 when eyesight is inspected with wearing these glasses. Besides, if finding that the investigation before using this receptacle use (the questioning and so on) finishes, that there is no fear of the eye disease, that a right view function is accomplished and that the decline of the eyesight is because of the ametropia, measure the proper glass degree with this receptacle.
(1). Setting (A) Install this receptacle in the eye inspection stand almost horizontally. Next install near point range finder in the fix part (28) and makes it facing above like (fig.6). (B) Set the spherical degree (shown as S below) of both eyes and an astigmatic degree (shown as C below) to zero. (C) Set the pupil distance (P.D.) which had been measured in advance with the PD meter in this receptacle. To set them, turn P.D. scale (6) agrees with P.D. of “Mr. A”. (D) Turn the face of Mr. A to the back (fig.2) of this receptacle and make him set his forehead on forehead support (23). (E) Which seeing level vial (5), put air bubble on the index of the * make by turning horizontal control knob (4) and obtain horizontal of this receptacle. (F) Set a distance between the corner vertex and this receptacle. (G) Measurement is started from the right eye. Set 0_ or 0 for the right eye with assistance lens (10) and OC for the left eye.
14
(2) Eye inspection by cloud fog method (A) Add degree S which is +3.00D bigger than the expected right eye. Since the present glass degree is -1.00D, put (-1.00) + (+3.00) =+2.00D.That is, make it 200 of the white figure. (B) The eyesight became much worse than the beginning such that it can almost see the index of 0.1 (To increase S by +3.00D than the expected degree is to fall the eyesight until it is possible to see index of 0.1 barely.) Then, to let out eyesight gradually is cloud fog method. Generally, it is often adopted as the good regulation eye method which has few control power. To exclude control power there, make the examinee relax eyes for a while. Next, decrease S step by step with spherical lens dial (12), like 2.00, to 1.75, to 1.50. Lower it until the eyesight becomes about 0.5. Suppose that -1.00 (100 of the red) was displayed. (C) Show the eyesight table or astigmatic table of chart projector and ask the examinee how he can see. Mr. A replied “like (fig.26)”. Turn the astigmatic axis knob (16) to adjust the line which is clearly seen cross to the astigmatic axis. See (fig.27). If the whole is not clearly seen uniformly, there is no astigmatic so that operations of 4-(2)-(C), (D) and 4-(3) are unnecessary.
(fig.26) (fig.27) (D) Turn astigmatic knob (15) and increase the value C from /00, to .25 so that any line can be seen uniformly. Now, it became .50 and it becomes an average like (fig.28). (E) Change S by 0.25 until the eyesight value becomes best. 1.00-> 1.25 -> 1.50 --- Write down the eyesight then. -1.00D 0.7 -1.75D 1.5 -1.25D 0.9 -2.00D 1.5 -1.50D 1.2 -2.25D 1.5 (fig.28)
Set the optimal spectacle lens with the smallest degree with which gets best eyesight for nearsightedness. In case of the hypermetropia, set it with the biggest degree. For Mr. A it is -1D because of nearsightedness. Now, the outline measurement of the right eye was ended. Then, measure them precisely.

(3) Precise measurement of astigmatic axis, astigmatic degree. (A) Set cross cylinder (18) in front of the right eye. When the outer frame of the cross cylinder is turned, the axis and the degree changes. (fig.29) Adjust the revolving axial direction in the astigmatic axial direction.
(fig.29)
(When it is agreed to the astigmatic axial direction, it clicks and fits to the ditch and it is possible to confirm fitting.) (B) Make an eyesight token point group-chart (fig.30). Roll inversion knob (19) with the finger and reverse the lens. Make the examinee compare the look of (fig.30) at that time. Stop inversion on the surface which it is possible to see better and it was like (fig.31). Observing the surface at that time, shift it by 5 degree to the direction of the red point. ( Make it 95 degree)
(fig.30) (fig.31) (C) Reverse the lens again and make it compare the look. The answer was that the state like (fig.32) was good again. Shift is by 5 degree to the direction of the red point. (It becomes 100 degree)
(fig.32) (D) Reverse the lens once again. Mr. A is considering the judgment which is better. The fact that it is difficult to judge or when both are the almost same means that correct astigmatic lens axis is decided. (Axis was fixed to 100 degree.)

(E) Measure precise astigmatic degree (C) next. Turn the outer frame of cross cylinder lens (18) and adjust letter P to the astigmatic axial direction. (fig.33)
(fig.33)
(F) Using (fig.30) as eyesight token like before, turn the cross cylinder (18) like (B) and make the examinee compare the look. The answer was that the state of (fig.34) was easily seen as a result of the comparison. As for a surface in this case, the red point is on the position of P so that increase (C) by 0.25D. (Mr. A’s C is 0.75D.)
(fig.34)
(G) Reverse the lens again and make him compare the look. Next time, the answer was that the surface of (fig.35) was better to see. As for a surface in this case, the white point is on the position of P so that decrease (C) by 0.25D. (Mr. A’s C is 0.50D.)
(fig.35)
If the red point is on the position of P, add it by 0.25D. Therefore, 0.50D was added along with (F). In such a case, he will feel S by C/2, i.e. only 0.25D. (H) When the lens is turned again, the answer was the state of (fig.34) was better. Since this is the same surface as (F), it is to increase C by 0.25D, but this is to be 0.75D again. According to this, 0.05D is weak but 0.75D is too strong. The precise C is -0.62D. However, since it requires a special order to get this lens, which will be expensive. Generally, use -0.50D. Which is weaker?

(4) Precise measurement of spherical degree (Red degree test) (A) Examinee precise S next. Use a red green view token as an eyesight table. Show (fig.36) or (fig.37) and confirm which of red view token can be seen well. The answer was “that the green one is a little better”. In this case, it means that nearsighted degree is slightly strong (a little weak in case of hypermetropia). Then, add S by -0.25D. It becomes -1.75D -> 1.50D.

(fig.37)
(fig.36)
(B) Ask which of red or green can be seen well. Next time, the answer was red was a little better. When the side or the red is better, it means that the degree of the nearsightedness is a little weak (a little strong in case of being hypermetropia). Then, it has returned before when gaining S by 0.25D. Therefore, Mr. A’s S is -1.62 which is between -1.50D and -1.75D. Since this lens is a special order, generally, use the -1.50D which is weaker (a little strong lens for hypermetropia). (C) Now, the measurement of the right eye has been completed. Let’s try clearing a lens degree. S (spherical degree) is 1.50 of the red figure. C (spherical degree) is 0.50 of the red figure and the axis is 100 degree. This means: R: S-1.50D*C-0.50D A 100 degree Next is the measurement of lens left eye. Turn assistance lens knob (10), set the left eye 0_ or 0and set the right eye OC. Like the right eye, carry out “the cloud fog method” and “Red/Green test” in order. The left eye of Mr. A was: L: S-2.00D*C-0.50D A 170 degree Now, the measurement of the right eye and the left eyes has ended. Since eyes were measured one by one, carry out the balance test for both eyes next.
