Synoptophore Instructions
2. Intended Use
The fundamental parts of the Synoptophore are two
independently movable sight tubes. With the instrument
set at zero (sight lines parallel) the two images, super-
imposed, will be seen as one integrated figure by a
subject with normal binocular vision. A subject with
strabismus, divergent or convergent, will only see a
superimposed (fused) figure with ease, when the sight
tubes are set at an angle to each other (angle of
deviation). The muscles are exercised by looking through
the tubes at the deviation angle and moving them
laterally in unison, so that the subject scans left and right
alternatively. Single eye exercise can be given by
gradually changing the angle between the sight tubes
whilst the subject maintains fusion for as long as
possible.
3. Safety and Regulatory
Information
• The Synoptophore may only be exposed to the
following environmental/ambient conditions for
transportation, storage purposes:
Ambient temperature: -40˚C to 70˚C
Humidity: 10-95% RH
Atmospheric pressure: 500hPa to 1060hPa
• The Synoptophore should be checked for damage
after unpacking.
• Defective equipment should always be returned in
appropriate packaging.
Notes on Usage
• Only qualified and trained personnel may operate the
equipment.
• The training of the operating personnel is the
responsibility of the equipment user.

intervention.
In particular, it is forbidden to loosen any screws; this
may reduce the accuracy of the measurement. All
ensuing warranty claims will be deemed null and void
as a result of unauthorised intervention.
Parts in contact with the body:
Chin Rest, Forehead Rest, eye piece and Handles for
adjustment of the horizontal angle between tubes, are the
applied parts.
