6 Preparing the measurement area
The measurement is carried out using infrared light, which is also contained in
sunlight and in the light of bulbs and halogen spotlights, for example. This infrared
light is invisible to the human eye and completely safe.
To obtain correct measurement values, it is important to avoid disruptive sources
of infrared light in the examination room. Close curtains, roller blinds and shutters
to block out the sun’s rays.
Turn off all light sources that produce heat. This does not mean that the
examination room should be dark. Cold light sources, such as energy saving bulbs
and neon lights, do not affect the measurement values.
More information about preparing the measurement area can be found in short manual 2 on

7 Performing measurements
The “plusoptiX S16” measures both eyes at the same time (binocular) in 0.5 seconds from a
distance of one meter. This means that even infants with a short attention span can be
measured from the age of 5 months. The simultaneous measurement of both eyes also
facilitates a reliable comparison of both eyes’ measurement values. More information about
performing a measurement can be found in short manual 2 on our homepage
(www.plusoptix.com), under support.
A measurement can be performed anonymously or by indicating patient data. More
information about entering or retrieving patient data can be found in short manual 4 on our
homepage (www.plusoptix.com), under support.
