| ● Vmax Vision, Inc. announced the addition of voice-guided instruction software to the PSF Refractor. The voice instruction software guides the patient through each refraction test, which is operated by the doctor or technician. As each test begins, the operator presses a button to activate the guided instruction, which can be repeated as necessary. The guided instruction is currently provided in English, with other languages planned in a future update of the software program. ● Reliance Medical Products' campaign promoting their instrument stands and exam chairs has been honored by a Gold Aster Award for excellence in advertising. Created by Cincinnati creative agency Ideopia, the ads leverage the company's history of hand crafting its products in America. |
