Vision Assessment 1054 User manual

This exercise works best if practiced daily as suggested. A Patient Instruction
Manual has been included so the Vectograph Vision Therapy System can be sent
home with the patient to allow for greater success through continued at-home
usage and practice.
PATIENT INSTRUCTIONS
Thank you for purchasing the Vision Assessment Corporation Aquarium Polarized
Variable Vectograph (P/N 1054).
PURPOSE
A three-dimensional picture is used to strengthen the binocularity system and provide
base-in and/or base-out training.
FAMILIARIZE YOURSELF WITH THE VECTOGRAPH
Polarized Variable Vectograph Vision Therapy System consists of:
1. 1 Therapy Binder
2. 1 Guide
3. 2 Vectographic Panels
Panel 1 (Blue Bar at Bottom)
Panel 2 (Numbers/Letters at Bottom)
4. 1 Pair Standard Polarized Viewers
(NOT TO BE USED AS SUNGLASSES)
5. 2 Instruction Manuals
Doctor Instruction Manual
Patient Instruction Manual
6. 1 Patient Vision Therapy Record Form with Pen
TESTING CONDITIONS
Well-lit, glare-free area
If reflections or glare on the Vectograph can be seen, try tilting the test or choose
another testing location
ADMINISTRATION
1. Place the polarized viewers on the patient.
PLEASE NOTE: DOCTOR SHOULD ADVISE WHETHER OR NOT POLARIZED
VIEWERS SHOULD BE WORN OVER PATIENT’S PRESCRIPTION GLASSES.
2. Hold the Vectograph approximately 16 inches (40 cm) in front of the patient.
3. Slide the 2 panels in the guide until the 0 appears in the opening on the blue bar at
the bottom of the test.
4. Begin by performing a suppression check. The patient should be able to see both
the L & R (Left & Right) below the +. If the patient is unable to see both letters,
instruct him/her to cover the opposite eye for the side he/she cannot see. For
example, if the patient cannot see the R (Right), have him/her cover his/her left
eye. Have the patient focus with the one eye until he/she is able to see the letter
that was not previously seen when viewing the Vectograph binocularly. Then again
have the patient view the Vectograph binocularly to ensure that now he/she can
see both the L & R. Once both the L & R can be seen, the patient is ready to use
the Vectograph.
5. Each of the images within the Vectograph are arranged at different levels of depth
with varying seconds of arc. Ask the patient to point to each image and indicate
whether the image appears to be floating away from them (BELOW the
Vectograph), towards them (ABOVE the Vectograph). Have the patient indicate
which images in the Aquarium appear to be floating away (BELOW) the most.
6. Refer to the “Answer Key” section of this manual for the seconds of arc and
direction and depth of float for each of the images.
7. Next, while slowly slide the panels apart ask the patient to try to maintain a single
image while repeating Step 5.
8. Have the patient notify you when the images double or when he/she is no longer
able to fuse the Aquarium images. (This is the Breaking Point.)
9. Note the number/letter in the space on the blue bar at the bottom of the
Vectograph. Refer to “Scoring” section of this manual.
10. Next, as you slowly slide the panels back together, ask the patient to notify you
when he/she is able to see the doubled images as a single clear image again. (This
is the Recovery Point.)
11. Note the number/letter in the in the space on the blue bar at the bottom of the
Vectograph. Refer to “Scoring” section of this manual.
12. Repeat steps 6 – 12 until patient can achieve the doctor’s recommended goal.
13. Follow any variation on these exercises as recommended by the doctor.
SCORING
Each letter A-P on the bottom blue bar represents one diopter (Base-In) (Divergence
/ Relaxing).
Each number 1-10 on the bottom blue bar represents one diopter. (Base-Out)
(Convergence / Crossing).
Each number 10-24 represents two diopters. (Base-Out) (Convergence / Crossing).
40 diopter range of separation available.
Refer to the Patient Vision Therapy Record Form.
Record the date.
Above the diagonal line in the row labeled “Relaxing” record the Breaking Point for
the highest letter on the blue bar that the patient is able to reach.
In the same box, below the diagonal line, record the Recovery Point for the highest
letter from the blue bar at which the patient is able to fuse the images as a single
clear image again.
Repeat the previous 2 steps for the row labeled “Crossing” for recording the
Breaking Point and Recovery Point for the highest numbers that the patient
can reach on the blue bar at the bottom of the Vectograph.

ANSWER KEY

CARE/HANDLING & STORAGE
Clean vectographic panels and guide with a soft, damp, lint-free cloth. Dampen cloth
using glass cleaner or mild detergent/water.
CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE VECTOGRAPHIC PANELS IN WATER.
DO NOT SPRAY CLEANER DIRECTLY ONTO PANELS.
wp Store Vectograph in a dry place away from direct sunlight.
Clean polarized viewers using lens cleaner and soft, lint-free cloth.
If panels are removed from guide during cleaning, replace the panels in the guide
placing the panel with the blue bar on top of the panel with the numbers/letters.
