We've been shipping these to clinics and mobile eye care units for a while now, and the feedback on the Logmar range form -0.4 to 0.5 is that it covers most standerd screening needs. It's not designed for advanced retinal work but handles routine refractive error checks just fine.
At 195g and about the size of a small paperback, it basically fits in a coat pocket or a field kit without any hassle. The manual scale gives you full control during the exam, which most experienced practitioners actually prefer over automated systems. You'll need 3 AAA batteries to run it—nothing special, and they last for about 20 exams or so depending on usage. One detail we don't always mention upfront: the wooden case it ships in is pretty heavy compared to the device itself, so budget for shipping weight accordingly. Most buyers go with the standard package, but our company can do a soft pouch if you're trying to cut freight costs.
CE and ISO13485 cerification are standard on every unit we ship, so you're covered for regulatory submissions in most markets. We usually have stock ready to go, but confirm lead time if you need more than 50 units at once.
177mm by 63mm by 47mm dimensions mean it fits nicely on a desk or in a drawer, but real selling point is the optics—better than reagent grade for this application, with tighter tolerance than most manual units we've tested. The display is just a manual scale, so there's no digital readout to worry about breaking in the field. Actually, we've had a few buyers in remote clinics who specifically chose this over digital models for that exact reason.
Anyway, let me know your target quantty and preferred packaging, and I'll get you a quote with the usual MOQ.
