Training Documentation
The purpose of this page is to allow those who have attending the KOM on-site training to have ready access to the latest revisions and updates to the manual. Please note a very significant update to both the Glasses Reader and also the Glasses Inventory programs to allow them to install and run in all versions of windows since Windows 2000.
Production Program information:
Glasses Reader versions 3.2-4 or 3.2-5 and the Eyeglasses Inventory versions 6.4-3 and 6.4-4 programs will run under Windows 2000, XP and VISTA-32. They will NOT run properly under Windows XP-64 (bit) or VISTA-64 (bit). See the Vista and Windows 7 program announcement below.
Vista and Windows 7 Program Announcement:
Glasses Reader has been updated to version 4.0-2 (later patched to 4.0-3) and Glasses Inventory has been updated to version 7.0-1 (later patched to 7.0-3). These revisions allow the programs to run under Windows 2000, XP, VISTA-32, VISTA-64, Windows 7-32 bit and Windows 7-64 bit. These programs have been tested extensively and no problems have been discovered with these new updates. You will be able to load these new versions from the below link within the red square brackets [ ]. There is no functional difference between these new version and version 6.4-4 of Glasses Inventory and 3.2-5 of Glasses Reader. The main difference is the new location of the program files as shown in the document at this link.

Label Printing Spreadsheet (Tested and found to run under Office XP, 2003 and 2007)
Avery 8167 labels (80 per sheet) are used to print labels for the eyeglasses bags, the temples of the eyeglasses and the openings in the boxes where the glasses reside. Avery 8167 labels (10 per sheet) are used to print labels for the each end of the trays of glasses (80 per tray) and also the ends of the big boxes. Click this LINK to download the spreadsheet that you can use to automate the printing of these labels. Usage instructions are included in the spreadsheet. Save this spreadsheet to your local computer hard drive and execute it from there. Do NOT execute it off the website as it will not work properly. Keep in mind that in your copy of Excel, you must have Macros enabled. I set Macro Security to Medium by doing:
Tools | Options | Security (tab) | Macro Security (button) | Medium (Radio button)
followed by OK twice. This means that each time I start the spreadsheet it prompts me to enable macros
Training videos:
(Download these videos to your local hard drive and play them there. They will not work as well if played from this website.)

Click here to download a training video of the Retinomax 2 autorefractor. This is the same as the DVD without the initial menu.

Keep in mind that this file is 69MB so it will take several minutes to download on a high speed internet connection.
Click here to download an index and timing information for this video. You will need this in order to use Windows Media Player to go directly to a particular location in the video.
Click here to download a self-extracting EXE which when executed will create in the root of your C drive a directory called "Retinomax_2_Operation". If you drag the contents of this directory to a CD, when you insert the CD, the training video will automatically play.
