Perimeters/Visual Field from Cal Coast Ophthalmic Instruments

Haag-Streit Octopus 300 Series

  

Wrecked data, right?

If your practice is without Octopus, you're cracking up every day:

1.       Your data is suspect.

2.       Long test times irritate your patients.

3.       Repeatable data is a joke.

4.       Inefficient equipment is eating away at your staff time.

The problem? Most perimeters don't work 95% of the time. Their tests run continuously, issuing stimuli whether the patient is fixated or not.


The Octopus concept is simple. One stimulus. One response. Our proprietary software and hardware guarantee that a stimulus is not presented unless the patient is fixated. This simple idea lets you profit every day.

1.       Test times run 2:30 to 3 min. instead of 6 to 15 min. Presto, your practice runs faster.

2.       No Fixation Losses.

3.       Test reports that combine graphics, numbers and diagnoses are easier to read.

4.       Shorter test times make patients more compliant, and more likely to stick around for a stop at the dispensary.

We know you would never settle for a 5% success rate for anything. So start your switch to Octopus today.
