AN OPTICIANS has installed state-of-the-art equipment.
Specsavers, which is based inside Morrisons supermarket in Uffington Road, Stamford, has invested in a new field screener and Tonoref, which will help make pre-testing quicker and more efficient.
The screener, which tests field of vision, reduces the amount of time patients spend in the pre-testing area before they see the optician because it is much quicker than the machine previously used.
The Tonoref does the job of three previously individual pieces of equipment and has also created more space in the store.
The machine contains an autorefractor which gauges the prescription of eyes, a tonometer which measures the pressure of the eye to help detect glaucoma and a keratometer to measure the shape of the cornea.
Specsavers store director James Keyworth said: "We are always looking at ways to improve the service we offer customers and these new pieces of equipment take up less space and are much more efficient which will help speed up the pre-testing process."
