Handling, Fitting and Focusing
Cleaning Your VES Support or Questions
1. Check to be certain that all screws in the
temple hinges and mounting brackets are
tight. DO NOT WEAR a loose system. Wait
until it has been properly adjusted and
tightened by your prescribing specialist.
2. Check that the fit of the temples, nose
pads, and telescope are proper. If your
VES is out of adjustment seek assistance
from your prescribing specialist.
3. The frame should fit slightly low on the
bridge of your nose to properly position
the eyepiece for viewing through the
telescope. The Telescope need not be slid
down the nose to sight through the eye
piece. Simply drop the chin down slightly
and look up into the eyepiece.
4. The VES should be handled with two hands
and placing it on and removing it from the
head very carefully.
5. The VES is front heavy and may slip down
the nose. Use of a sport strap to support
the VES on the head can be helpful.
6. The VES should not be shared with others.
Use by others may place the system out of
position or adjustment or may cause
damage not covered by the warranty.
7. The VES is focusable for varied distances.
The focusing knob should NEVER be
forced beyond its free range of movement.
If the focus becomes jammed, DO NOT
FORCE it. Return your VES for mainte
nance and repair to your prescribing
specialist.
The eyepiece lens may become soiled with
dirt or skin oil. This may reduce clarity
through the telescope. Clean the front and
the rear lenses of the telescope with an
approved camera or eyeglass lens cloth.
Moisten only the eyeglass lenses (not the
telescope lenses) with water or eyeglass
cleaner if required. NEVER hold the VES
under running water. The lenses may be
blown dry with compressed air to remove
dust (available through camera and office
supply stores).
Call your prescribing eye care specialist or
Ocutech for assistance.

The VES can be used while stationary or
while moving. The VES is intended to be
used as an aide to the wearer’s existing
vision through the eyeglass lenses.
The VES is not intended to replace the
user’s “regular vision.” The VES will pose
the greatest risk to the wearer when it is
used while moving or while engaged in
any physical activity. The VES should NOT
be sighted through, or should be removed,
when the activity with the VES increases
the risk of danger or harm to the wearer.
DO NOT continually look through the
VES while:
•Walking, traveling or while in unfamiliar areas
• Coursing stairs, curbs, doorways, escalators,
revolving doors, etc.
•Engaged in operating power equipment or
other potentially dangerous machinery
•Never look directly at the sun with or without
the VES
•The VES will obscure some field of vision
above and around the line of sight. Care
should be taken to avoid objects such as a
low tree branch or car door
