Vutest® is currently being used by some of the country's largest companies. Available in 10 languages, it is used by
many companies abroad. It can also be owned by optometrists and leased to local companies.
The program, called Vutest®, is intended to be used by firms of approximately 20 or more employees. Used in this manner, it proves to be a very cost effective way to provide efficient sight for VDU users.
For large firms, it will save the cost of unnecessary professional eye examinations by
up to 75%.
The program threshold tests the alignment and acuities of the
eyes and prints out a report. If the sight is below a clinically acceptable
standard, the report recommends a full eye examination, and gives details
of the test for the user's optometrist.
