• The 'Ocutech Ves
II':
The Ocutech Vision Enhancing System (VES-II) is an innovative low vision bioptic telescope system for visually impaired, developed and tested with funding from the National Eye Institute.
The VES-II offers significant improvements in field of view, image brightness, contrast and a natural rectangular image shape (4x, 6x). The fully adjustable mounting design gives full control over the critical positioning of the telescope even for challenging eccentric viewing and nystagmus cases. |

• The Ocutech VES AutoFocus Telescope:
The VES® Autofocus Telescope removes the hardest part of getting used to a telescope system. Focusing. Autofocus automatically measures the focusing distance many times per second to provide a clear image immediately. This allows the visually impaired to work much more efficiently in a relaxed, comfortable posture.
The 4x magnification power of the VES ®AF - improves vision for seeing blackboards in school, reading road signs and computer screens, identifying individual items while shopping, and many other daily activities.
The VES-AF provides:
1. Wide field of view
2. Infinite depth of field
3. Low weight (less than 2.5 oz.)
4. Continuous focus from 12 inches to infinity
The 4x VES-AF is the first self-focusing bioptic telescope specifically designed for the visually impaired. |
