​

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.
