The drop transfers by surface tension upon contact with the eye or lid. Patients note ease of use with mitigation of hyperextension and reflex blinking, the company says. SimplyTouch extends the yield per bottle with accuracy and titratable drop size.

GULDEN EZ VIEW PRISM BARS

3. Prism bars, as opposed to individual prisms, can provide a whole range of prism corrections in a single instrument.

Gulden’s EZ View Prism Bars are designed to eliminate a common prism bars flaw. Typically the prism’s numerical magnitude has been located on the thick edge, where it is difficult for examiners to read. EZ View’s design allows clinicians to easily view the results.
