Patient determination of full correction using FARS
The Fully Assisted Refraction System (FARS) is an optional kit for the NIDEK Tabletop Refraction System TS-610, used to determine the full correction by the patient’s response based on objective data or glasses data input by the staff. The kit consists of a joystick controller and the Fully Assisted Refraction System application software.
Fully Assisted Refraction System application
Testing proceeds according to the patient’s responses, and the test progress and times are displayed on the Windows computer/tablet.
Joystick controller
According to the voice guidance, a patient responds to questions with the joystick controller. When the patient has trouble with operations, they can inform the staff by pressing the help button.
Dramatically changing the optometry landscape
Time-saving
Since each patient proceeds the test independently, a single staff member can cover multiple devices.
Fresh experience
FARS provides patients with a fresh user experience while maintaining the test accuracy.
Space-saving
FARS with the TS-610 contributes to the creation of more space by minimizing the examination footprint.
Potential maximization
FARS supports effective staff allocation according to the facility’s needs. Efficient refraction allows the facility to focus on patient consultation or value-added examinations.

Test contents and flow
Based on the TS-610 examination program, FARS has suitable test contents.*
*The presented charts differ depending on the chart type of the TS-610.
Expanding possibilities with CB for Windows*
CB for Windows is an optional control software for the TS-610. This software delivers the comprehensive examination capabilities of the existing control console through a Windows computer. The eyecare professional provides the final check/adjustment from a different location after subjective refraction by FARS.
*Operation from a different location can be performed by remote operation of the computer. NIDEK does not include or provide the functions or software necessary for remote communications. The working environment and the specifications/performance of individual computers may impact software usability.
