Analyze lenses in seconds
Topcon says that its EZ-200 Automatic Rx Analyzer is compact, easy to use and features the "world's first" simultaneous measurement of right and left lenses. The spectacle measuring system automatically reads lens power (sphere, cylinder, axis); it can recognize and measure multifocals and progressives, display far- and near-point distance from optical center for progressive lenses; and measure monocular and total spectacle PD.
The single-button measuring process allows even those with no prior optical experience to obtain accurate, repeatable results in seconds. Measurement of single vision lenses (both right and left) takes 10 seconds, while progressive lenses take 20 seconds. The device also features an RS-232 interface for easy communication with other Topcon products and/or a personal computer.

Low-Vision Aid Gets Protection
Eschenbach has added a protective hard plastic cover to its 1510 line of illuminated, hand-held magnifiers. The blue cap will shield the lens from scratches and general wear and tear when not in use. It's attached to the magnifier by a hinge so that users can't lose or forget it, and it can also be completely removed. Eschenbach says that the cover is easy to use, especially for the elderly or those with weak or unsteady hands.
