Having the TRS system has cut down so much on the time required to enter data into the refractor and into the electronic health record. It shortens the time doing the refraction, and the choices are easier for patients, who often get stressed about determining which is clearer. Best of all, at the end with a push of a button, I can show the patient the comparison between the prescription they came in with and the one we’ve generated.

The OPD-Scan III helps me reach a goal of zero spherical aberration with my cataract patients. A few years ago, I studied how accurately and predictably dynamic skiascopy, the wavefront technology used measures spherical aberrations and guides IOL choice. When I chose from three different IOLs based on data from the device, postoperative spherical aberration for 40 patients was just +0.019±0.051 μm.  When we can virtually eliminate spherical aberration for our cataract patients, we increase patient satisfaction. In particular, when patients have other visual problems that we can’t correct, even a relatively small change, such as reducing nighttime glare, can make a big difference in their lives.

Having the TRS-5100 allows me to see more patients in a day but the most impressive part is the accuracy of getting my patients to see the best. I love hearing how clear and sharp their vision is after picking up their new eyewear. And I haven't had to see one patient back doing a recheck for a Dr's change since I've brought the system.

The staff adoption of the hi-tech equipment has been great and we have been using the EPIC (combination of the OPD III and TRS digital refractor) for example for 15 years and one of the first practices to implement an efficient work station.  Patients love it!  They know we are advanced and the flow time increased with times are less and the advanced diagnostics, they know we are actually getting the data we need on their eyes to make a good decision and what their problem is.  Staff is always adopting and trying to convince me to purchase another system because they know it improves flow.
