About 10 million Americans suffer from
dry eye syndrome. Most of these
cases result from normal aging of the
glands in the eye, but dry eye can
occur at any age.

3. People suffering from allergies and those
wearing contact lenses have greater risk of
developing dry eye.There are two main
forms of dry eye, evaporative dry eye and
aqueous deficient dry eye.

the dry eye symptoms
for allergies, climatic
conditions or just
eyestrain. While all of
these may aggravate
dry eye symptoms,
they are not the
cause.

High Resolution
5 Mega pixels resolution and 1/2.5 inch CCD
produce high definition image. With CMOS leaner
array, all tiny subjects are shown clearly.
Easy USB Transfer
One power cable and one data line will realize
data transmission easily. Neither hardware
nor computer configuring is required.
Infrared Button
Infrared control, easy-operating and no
electromagnetic radiation, is much safer and
more stable. Its hardware compatibility is
maturest and widest.

20. Enhanced Auto Exposure Settings
Target area sizecon controlled by auto
exposure is changed easily via moving the
mouse lightly. Any area is shown clearly.

x W74mm x H48.5mm) makes it installed
conveniently and operated easily.
User-Friendly Interface
Simple design style and friendly interface help
operators handle it quickly.
Strong Compatibility
RAW/PNG/BMP/JPG output file format are
compatible with most of the third-party
software.
