The challenge​
​
Provide a Visual Fixation solution that allows an Optometrist the ability to capture and hold a patient's gaze. The product will primarily be focused for use on patients with learning disabilities or autism.
​
Our Solution
​
We redesigned the original VFS (Visual Fixation Device) prototype with changes to form, usability, and ergonomics and with a clear consensus on sustainability. Included in the design were multiple handles for use with other products such as retinoscopes and Visual Field examinations.
​
​
The Delivery
​
VFS is a sleek and contemporary visual fixation aid made from 100% sustainable PLA (Polylactic Acid) and is now being used in multiple practices and Opthalmology departments across the UK.
