Paskal3D makes its way to the UK high street

Refraction is the most recognised, yet unchanging, element of an eye examination – something Dr Martin Smith says it is time to rectify.

October 5 was switch-over day for Martin Smith Opticians. From that day every patient coming into the practice has been refracted using the Paskal3D system something Dr Smith says he is absolutely confident about. Paskal could be adopted overnight as the main system, rather than a ‘different test’, because it can be switched back to simple 2D projection at any time and refraction completed in a traditional manner.

Paskal was showcased last autumn during an open day at Martin Smith Opticians in Lincoln, which has invested in the new system. Dr Smith first saw the system at Optrafair and was wowed by its use of 3D. He says the system is more entertaining and engaging for the patient, and the practitioner, but also sees clinical benefits too.
