The Pupillary Distance Meter PM-700 provides ease of holding and accurate measurement.
The main body is fixed by using a forehead arm that is fitted as standard to the PM-700 and it prevents the device from moving, which would effect the measurement.
Binocular / monocular PD measurement is possible with a simple click of a button.
The hairline of 0.25 mm increments is newly adopted, it is now easier to match the corneal reflection point. It is also possible to change to the 0.5 mm increments same as the previous model by setting the parameter.
The PD is automatically calculated at a viewing point distance from 30 cm to infinity with one measurement in 0.1 mm increments. The PM-700 can display 0.5 mm increments as the previous model (PM-600), depending on the customers’ needs.
NIDEK’s original clear acrylic sheet, “Geolass*”, with highly functional hard coating is used for the measuring window. This makes the window highly durable with good resistance to abrasion and smudging.
The PM-700 is a redesigned product which is conscious of ergonomics and its design makes it easy to hold and reduces the risk of dropping. By placing the switch measurement type button in the center, it is easy to hold the device in a reasonably horizontal position. Furthermore, a hand strap and optional neck strap minimizes the risk of dropping.
The new digital display achieves an ideal layout with superior visibility.
Through a review of the internal structure, a running time has been achieved which is about three times longer than the previous model (PM-600). Additionally, in consideration for the environment, it also supports a rechargeable battery that can be re-used repeatedly.
By adopting an LED fixation light, lamp replacement is no longer necessary and power consumption is also reduced. This has became reduced maintenance frequency.
The internal light source is turned off after 15 seconds when the device is not being used and then the power will turn off automatically after 3 minutes.
