The combination of a Snellen eye chart and screening audiometer provides complete equipment for basic screening examination of a patient's vision and hearing. The Snellen chart with characters of different sizes is used for rapid verification of visual acuity and detection of a possible need for glasses or correction.

The screening audiometer, through headphones, tests the patient's ability to perceive sounds and tones at different frequencies and volumes. These examinations are a mandatory and important part of preventive check-ups and fitness assessments, for example for a driving licence.

The whole process takes place calmly, is completely non-invasive, painless and undemanding for the patient. Thanks to these tools, the doctor can catch natural weakening of the senses that comes with age or from a noisy environment in good time.

Results are known immediately after the tests, and if needed the doctor will recommend a more detailed examination with an eye or ENT specialist.
