Irvine, CA (PRWEB) April 23, 2014 -- A feature-rich FLEX visual acuity app for Ophthalmology, Optometry, clinical trials and other medical uses has just been released on Apple iTunes for Retina display iPad devices as an add-in to Konan Medical’s Chart2020 Duo app. The FLEX visual acuity test allows clinicians to dynamically and instantly adjust visual acuity test parameters to test from 33 cm (14 inches) to 6 meters (20 feet). The test includes industry standard, Sloan specification literate, illiterate, and pediatric optotypes for western and 6 global languages.

“FLEX marks a new chapter in our vision assessment products, bringing professional-grade visual acuity tests onto high resolution mobile devices such as Apple’s Retina display iPads,” said Charles Wm. Stewart, OD, Konan Medical USA CEO. “We have previewed FLEX with Ophthalmologists and Optometrists for standard VA testing, out of office screenings, clinical trials, school nurses, and even with emergency rooms physicians to bring the vision tests to the patients. FLEX is on-the-fly precision acuity testing at reading distances, computer distances or even full distance vision testing,” said Dr. Stewart. “"The new FLEX visual acuity feature in Konan’s Chart2020 Duo app is powerful but simple to assess reading, computer distances, even distance acuities", said Paul Karpecki, OD. “Simple to use, intuitive, and mobile … I love using it in my practice.”
