Hi everyone. I am in a process of setting up an office and would like to purchase digital visual acuity charts. There are many different brands (ClearChart2, 20/20 vision, Acuity PRO, Innova, Echart Acuity, topcon visichart, Clarity Acuity, Provideo system, Lombard CVS system, Sirius Visual acuity system, FrontMotion vision eye chart, Vistavision among etc). I would like to find out if anyone has any experience with these and are they worth $2,500. Which one should I go for?

Thanks for your input

get in contact with some professors at Western U, all they have is digital.

Most of ours are digital too. They have their pros and cons. I like that you can randomize the letters to prevent particular patients from trying to memorize the lines.

I have a couple Reichart ClearChart2s. I really like them, and certianly prefer them over my projector.

If you are just setting up an office, don't go with digital acuity charts. What you need when you're starting out is equipment that generates revenue for the office and a $2500 digital acutity chart will generate as much as revenue as a used $50 B&L projector chart.

That's true, however, once you get rolling and seeing a lot of patients, the ease of use of automated projectors or digital acuity charts starts to make a lot of sense. Plus the WOW factor doesn't hurt either.

both acurity pro and clear charts are great

I think these charts are a giant screw job. I have Acuity Pro. It works fine and everything, but jesus, I paid like $2,000 for a program that displays random numbers. Whooptie dooo. I should have just come up with my own.
