Ocutech VES®-Mini
The Ocutech VES-Mini is an innovative, miniature 3x expanded field (Keplerian) bioptic telescope system. It provides a combination of an unusually wide 15-degree field-of-view in a very compact physical design. The VES-Mini is equivalent in size to small focusing Galilean telescopes and only half the size of most competitors expanded field telescopes. The Mini’s crisp, bright optics provide internal focusing for refractive errors from +12 to –12 and for near viewing to as close as 7 inches.
The convenient diagnostic kit makes it easy to demonstrate and prescribe this high quality telescope system with a minimum of time, effort and risk. The VES-Mini is prescribed as any other conventional bioptic telescope system and can be ordered for monocular or binocular use and for distance and near applications.

The Ocutech VES-Mini can be ordered mounted in Ocutech’s fashionable ophthalmic frames as a complete package, or it can be installed into appropriate frames provided by the prescriber.
The VES-Mini provides the same field of view as the conventional Keplerian telescope and is half the size and one third the weight. |
