Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the EyeQue VisionCheck automated subjective refraction system.

The EyeQue VisionCheck allows users to perform self-administered eye tests to measure refractive conditions and provide sphere, cylinder, and axis measurements of the eye. The EyeQue VisionCheck device works with the VisionCheck smartphone app to conduct visual test on each eye, then converts the test results into EyeQue EyeGlass Numbers®- the lens power needed to correct nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.

When used under a doctor’s prescription, the EyeQue VisionCheck system can be used to generate prescription information needed to order eyeglasses for vision correction.

When purchased directly and not used under a doctor’s prescription, the EyeQue VisionCheck system can be used as an over-the-counter (OTC) aid in monitoring the progression of refractive conditions, which can help demonstrate the general stability or variability of your eyesight over time.

The EyeQue VisionCheck is intended for self-administered use at home by adults 18 years and over. Care must be taken to read and follow the directions for use contained in this manual and in-app, to help ensure safe and accurate use.

To help avoid identified risks of use, please read the Safety Information related to the EyeQue VisionCheck device.

EyeGlass Numbers are not prescriptions. Personal vision testing does not replace the need for regular eye health exams administered by an eye doctor.

Instructions

Download the App

• • Complete the app activation process.

Getting Started

• Remove the VisionCheck device from the box and remove the protector cover from the base.

• Click on “Test” in the app.

Turning On the VisionCheck Device

• Launch the EyeQue VisionCheck app on your phone and select “Test.”
• Turn on the device by pressing the power button for three seconds.
• The Power Button will blink blue indicating that the device is ready to be paired to your phone.
• Set up Bluetooth connection between the VisionCheck device and your phone.
• Turn on the EyeQue VisionCheck app on your phone and press “Test”.
• The app will look for the VisionCheck device for up to 30 seconds.
• Once the app discovers the VisionCheck device, it will display the device name for you to select.
• After selecting the device, click on “Continue” on the app.
• The blinking blue light on the power button will turn solid blue when paired

Attach the Device to Your Phone

• Remove the base cover. Attach the device within the dotted line displayed on your phone screen with the VisionCheck logo facing toward the bottom of the phone and the three touch sensors towards the top. The device should not slide easily once attached to your phone.
• Secure the device by attaching the silicone elastic band with a snug fit

Check Battery Status from the App

• When you pair with the VisionCheck device the app will indicate the charge level of the VisionCheck device.
• While testing there will be a battery level indicator on the screen.

How to Take Your First Vision Test
Note: If this is your first time we recommend going through the tutorial as well as the practice session. Once you find the lines and successfully complete your first test, all subsequent tests will become much easier to perform.

• Click “Next” and select whether you will be taking the test with or without glasses or contact lenses and if your phone has a screen protector.
• Place your elbows on a flat surface to hold your smartphone as steady as possible.
• Hold the smartphone at a reading distance, and slowly move it closer until the eye cup of the device touches your right eye.
• You should see two lines, one red, and one green. Take a few seconds to find these lines.
• If you do not see them, try gently moving the device left and right, up and down.
• It takes some practice and is an important part of getting accurate test results
• Once you see the red and green lines, open and relax your left eye (non-testing eye) during the test. Most people find it helpful to focus the untested eye on a large object at least 6 feet away. This step is very important to ensure accurate results.
• Tap on touch sensors 1 and 2 on the VisionCheck device and overlap the red and green lines completely to form one solid yellow line.
• The VisionCheck will vibrate gently when you tap the touch sensors.
• Holding touch sensors 1 and 2 for a longer period of time, also known as “long press,” will result in quicker movement of the lines.
• Once you are satisfied that the lines are overlapped, touch and hold touch sensor 3 (“Next”) for two seconds on the device.
• Continue looking into the device. The red and green lines will be rotated to a different angle. Overlap them as you’ve done for the previous test; touch and hold the “Next” touch sensor for two seconds when you see one solid yellow line.
• Continue and complete all 9 measurements for your right eye and then the 9 measurements for your left eye. Follow the voice prompts.
• You may choose to save or discard the test result. Discarded results will not be used in calculating EGNs

EyeGlass Numbers® (EGNs)

After taking at least three sets of saved vision tests with the EyeQue VisionCheck, the app will display a set of EyeGlass Numbers.

Note: Although a minimum of three tests are needed, more vision tests will result in better, more accurate EyeGlass Numbers.

What can you do with EyeGlass Numbers?
We recommend using them for general tracking of your eyesight over time and providing it to your eye care provider before your annual eye exam for evaluation.EGNs can be used to order EyeQue Try-On Glasses for verification purposes. EyeQue Try-On Glasses are low-cost trial lenses made using your EyeGlass Numbers to help you ensure that the corrective power works well for you

EyeGlass Numbers are not prescriptions. Personal vision testing does not replace the need for an annual eye health exam by an eye doctor.

Multiple Users
One device can be shared with other users.
EGN calculations are based upon the results of several saved tests for a given individual and are available on their personal dashboard. Each user must have a separate EyeQue account to ensure accurate results. EyeQue accounts are free and require a valid email address.
