9.5 Manual alignment
If, for some reasons, the automated eye search fails, a message as in Figure 14 shows up.
Reasons for failure include: improper patient positioning, patient not fixating steadily, patient
moving the head and / or the gaze during eye search.
If any of the above situations applies, try to fix the cause (re-position the patient, instruct her/him to
steadily fixate at the target and/or to not move) before proceeding with manual alignment.
Use the UP / DOWN / LEFT / RIGHT buttons to adjust the optical head position and align the
patient’s eye to the instrument front lens. As soon as the eye is detected the automated procedure
will resume.
