NEAR-POINT CARD
When the patient wears the multi-focal lenses, measure the eyeglass refractive power at near
distance. For installing the near-point rod and near-point card, refer to "ASSEMBLY/INSTAL-
LATION OF NEAR-POINT ROD AND NEAR-POINT CARD".
Incline the near-point rod until it stops. If the near-point rod is almost horizontal, the position is
the measuring position.
The scale of the near-point rod is graduated by the "cm" unit (15 ~ 70).
Values matching both end lines of the card holder indicate the distance between the eye and
the card.
Set the desired target on the near-point card attached to the card holder.
To set the target, turn the rotary part at the bottom of the card by your fingers. The target
appears in the sight window.
Target numbers of the near-point card and the contents are shown below.
(1) 40cm target VA 20/50-20/20
(2) Target for presbyopia
(3) Target for horizontal line
(4) Target for horizontal line (40cm target VA 20/20)
(5) Target for presbyopia (thin lines)
(6) 40cm target VA 20/200-20/60
(7) Target for astigmatism
(8) 40cm for VA 20/20
(9) Target for vertical line
(10) 67cm target VA 20/200-20/20
Target name on the patient side
When you stop turning the rotary part of the card at the position displayed as "Astigmatic
chart", the patient sees the target for astigmatism (astigmatic chart). (The target for astigma-
tism (astigmatic chart) is displayed in the sight window at the back side.)
CAUTION
To avoid injury due to contact, do not bring the face close to the near-
point rod.
CAUTION
Do not tilt the head for the near-point test while the near-point rod is
inclined. The near-point rod may hit the instrument or desk to dam-
age the instrument.
NOTICE
The near-point card must be bent in the set direction. Do not bend it
forcedly in the opposite direction. The near-point card may be broken.
