Why Phoropter Cleaning?

• fumes
• makeup
• environmental conditions

Is Bacteria Lurking in Your Phoropter?

Did you know that bacteria can build up on the inside of your phoropter? Just think of how many times every day your phoropter is used during eye exam, how many patients look through the unit and how many technicians and doctors touch and maneuver the unit. In even just a few months, bacteria can grow as the result of dirt, debris, make-up, eyelashes and other culprits.
These unseen bacteria can work their way into your patients’ eyes, leading to eye infections and other serious vision problems. The last thing you want to do is harm your patients’ vision during a routine eye exam, and you certainly don’t want a lawsuit based on the results of using dirty equipment.

The best way to avoid internal bacteria build-up is to have your equipment professionally cleaned from the inside- out every 12 months. Just a simple external wipe-down won’t be sufficient to remove harmful bacteria.

Your patients come to your practice trusting that the eye exams you provide are accurate and safe. If you are using a phoropter that hasn’t been internally cleaned and properly calibrated in at least a year, you may not be providing accurate readings for refractive errors and other eye conditions.

Patient misdiagnosis for eye prescriptions may lead to:

• Additional eye appointments to provide proper diagnosis
• Patient frustration over having to return to your office
• Possibility for serious eye problems due to misdiagnosis
• Decreased efficiency for your staff

Prevent patient misdiagnosis by having your phoropter cleaned by OptiTech USA.
