AOC Vision Charts Support

1. Connect the 220V cable to the power supply socket on the back of the LCD monitor.
2. Connect the 5V cable to the micro-USB port on the back of the vision chart: the main LED will flash red, yellow, and green and then turn off to show that the device is powered correctly.

1. Remove the arm on the back of the monitor unscrewing the 4 cross-head screws on its back. Use the same screws to screw the metal plate back on.
2. After having fixed the dowel in the wall and having made the electrical connections, hang the device like you would a painting on the wall: use the slot on the upper part of the rear metal plate.

It must be turned on with IR remote control. Briefly press the power button on the IR remote control to start the instrument. The main LED will start to flash green to show that the AOC Vision Chart is starting up. The instrument will be ready for use in under a minute.

It is turned off by the IR remote control. Press and hold the power button on the remote control until the screen goes dark. The main LED will flash red for a few seconds and then go off, showing that the instrument is off. The instrument is then ready to be turned on by the IR remote control.

Yes, no problem. All the tests can be used through a mirror. If you do, you need to set a distance value (Setup, 1st icon) equal to the patient-mirror distance + LCD mirror-screen. Remember to enable the mirror function (Setup, 1st icon).

You could opt to use a powercube socket to connect both the 220V and the 5V cables. To purchase this accessory add the product code “PWR.1” to your order.

Yes, of course. You can use any extendable, tilting bracket to secure a TV/LCD with VESA 75×75 and 100×100 mm support. To purchase the tilting, extendable bracket, add the product code “SUPP.1” to your order.

You can use any floor base to secure a TV/LCD with a VESA 75×75 and 100×100 mm attachment. To purchase the floor base, add the product code “SUPP.F” to your order.

Measure the distance between the patient’s eye and the LCD screen and set this value in Setup, 1st icon (Distance). That’s all you need to do. PS: If you use a mirror, the distance to be set is patient-mirror + mirror-LCD screen.

The instructions for use, EU Declaration of Conformity, installation guide, and package contents description are on the USB flash drive that comes with the instrument.

Main LED or power-on LED: the LED on the lower side in the center of the instrument (in models other than AOC-i2x, on the right side on the back of the monitor, near the auxiliary power button), shows the vision chart’s power supply status. This is the instrument’s main LED and it is off when the instrument is off, steady green when the instrument is running, flashing green during startup, and it flashes three times (red, yellow, green) when you plug the 5V power supply into the power outlet.

Secondary LED or display LED: the LED on the lower right corner on the front case of the LCD monitor is only for the display, indicating the power status only for the monitor (not of the entire vision chart). It is amber when the vision chart is off, and it lights up blue (or green, depending on the model) when the LCD monitor is on.

The USB flash drive is a special drive that acts as both a memory flash drive and a recovery and software update disk for the AOC.

You can use the USB flash drive to:

• store PDF reports of driving license exams
• store graphs with the contrast sensitivity curve
• update your AOC’s software (Read more in the FAQs)
• restore your AOC software

The USB flash drive contains documentation for the purchased device, the End User License Agreement [EULA], Limited Warranty information, multimedia files to be used with the instrument, and the file for restoring the software.

The disk contains the IR receiver (for controlling the instrument from the remote control or from the IR phoropter) and the Maddox LED. Arrange the disk vertically so that the remote control signal can reach it directly.

The product serial number label is on the back of the monitor. Note: The SN should be reported when requesting assistance. The same number is also on the instrument’s packaging box.

Go to the Setup window, go to the 7th icon, “Product Info,” and read the version of the software and hardware currently installed on your device.

The ETH connector, located in the central part on the lower side (in models other than the AOC-i2x it is at the top back of the monitor), is used to print on a network printer or to connect the internet network cable for technical support to remotely access the instrument in case of malfunctions or the need for updates.

Press the P key to access the customized program. Hold down the P key for 3 seconds to enter the customization mode. Follow the instructions that appear at the bottom of the screen to input only your preferred tests in the sequence you want. The Remote Console makes this customization easy.

With the AOC Vision Chart, you can create a report of the vision exam (with the result of the tests for visual acuity, contrast sensitivity, twilight vision, glare sensitivity, and photostress recovery time), which is also a valid eyesight report driver licensing purposes and the contrast sensitivity test curve graph (Gabor patches).

Keep the USB flash drive inserted in a USB port of the AOC while executing the driving license exam or the Contrast Sensitivity Test. The results will be saved at the end of the test on the USB flash drive.

Yes, you can receive the report files through Bluetooth on your Android smartphone or your PC (Windows or Linux). The files will be automatically sent to the paired device at the end of the test.

To use this function, pair the AOC with your device through Bluetooth (BT).

This function is not available for Apple devices (Mac, iPhone, …).

Pairing the AOC with your Android smartphone or your PC (Windows or Linux) by BT is used to automatically receive the PDF report of the driving license and the graph of the contrast sensitivity curve, as soon as these data are available. Pairing need only be done once and then the files are sent automatically. Once you have received the files via BT on your device you can easily manage them in various ways, such as forwarding, storing, and printing them.

Make BT visible and accessible on your device. Then, from the AOC setup menu, go into the fifth icon “Report” and start pairing (option 3/5). Follow the directions that appear at the bottom of the AOC screen.

Yes, the instrument can automatically send reports to the printer as soon as they are generated. To use this function, you must have a WiFi-compatible or network printer (see user manual).

With the network cable inserted, access the Setup window, select the 5th icon and start the printer search by pressing the start button from the 4/5 option, “Network Printer.” 

To set up a WiFi printer, enter the network access data (5th icon, option 5/5) and then start the printer search as indicated above.

1. Download the update for your instrument model from the Reserved Area. Important: The file name must not be changed.
2. Copy the file you downloaded to the USB flash drive. Use the USB flash drive that comes with the instrument.
3. Access the Setup window of the AOC Vision Chart to be updated, select the 6th icon, “Software update,” and press start on the remote control. The automatic update will start, then end after about 10 minutes, and the instrument will restart.

Your access data for the Reserved Area is on the first page of the instrument user manual. These access codes are reserved only for you and are not transferable. Their use by others is strictly forbidden.

All AOC Vision Charts are designed to be excellent digital vision charts. There is no “best” AOC but there is an AOC Vision Chart that best meets your needs. Here are some tips to choose the right model for you: 

• If you are a professional who mainly works outside the studio in different locations, choose the AOC-Mobile.
• If you use the MKH method or if you frequently use stereo and binocular tests, consider the AOC Pola.
• If you have a refraction room with reduced patient-screen distance (<4 meters), consider the AOC-23. If the distance is more than 6 meters, opt for the AOC-27 or AOC-i27.
• For all other cases, the AOC-i24 is the right model for you.

Yes, no problem. if you already have an AOC Vision Chart equipped with only IR remote control, you can add the Remote Console at any time. Send us your AOC’s serial number [SN] and you’ll get a compatible Console ready to go.

You should choose a Remote Console with the same communication technology as your AOC. Communication with the Remote Console is BT type for 4th Gen AOCs and WiFi type for 3rd generation AOCs. The symbol (WiFi or BT) that appears in the lower left corner of the HOME window screen identifies the model. BT models also have a BT logo label applied to the back of the instrument and the packaging box.

Yes, it is compatible with some digital phoropters that communicate with the AOC Vision Chart via Bluetooth or infrared. Get in touch with us for more information.

The instrument is delivered with the monitor’s OSD settings already calibrated. It is strongly recommended that you not modify these calibrations, which could make for contrast and brightness values that render the eye exam less precise or inaccurate.

For the AOC i24 and AOC-i27: hold the ENTER key down: after 10 seconds, the message “OSD unlocked” will appear on the screen. Now you can access the screen parameters.

Our AOC Vision Charts consume as little as 30W. If you consider that they are usually kept on all day and may last more than 15 years, the savings on your energy bill are certainly far from negligible.

A demo/evaluation unit is available only for ophthalmic distributors interested in distributing EyeNext products. To request a demo unit please contact us.

We accept no gray areas on this point. The answer is: no one will see how you use your AOC Vision Chart! The instrument does not track the use you make of it; it does not collect data, and no data is transmitted to anyone from the vision chart you have purchased. We do not see you and your work as products to be tracked for business.
