Saladin Near Point Balance Card™ (Saladin Card™)

The Saladin Near Point Balance Card is an essential tool for vision practitioners, designed to streamline the assessment of near point function across a wide age range, from five years old to prepresbyopic adults. This versatile card offers a comprehensive suite of tests to evaluate various aspects of binocular vision, including horizontal and vertical heterophoria, fixation disparity, accommodation, and vergence facility, among others.

Comes with a manual, red maddox occluder, polarized goggle.

This is a very durable, professionally finished card. Includes pins for use in phoropter or can be handheld.

Key Features:

  • Comprehensive Near Point Function Assessment: Quickly and easily measure horizontal and vertical heterophoria, fixation disparity, and cyclophoria. The card also supports dynamic retinoscopy and includes a Bailey-Lovie visual acuity chart for precise vision assessment.
  • Versatile Testing Options: Whether used as an enhancement to an existing test battery or in conjunction with the Michigan College of Optometry (MCO) Oculomotor Balance Screening Sequence, the Saladin Near Point Balance Card provides a robust platform for evaluating near point oculomotor balance.
  • Easy Integration into Practice: The card can be mounted on a near point rod or handheld, offering flexibility in testing environments. With the ability to conduct over a dozen key assessments, this card is an invaluable addition to any vision practitioner's toolkit.
  • Detailed Testing Protocols: Perform a variety of tests including horizontal and vertical fixation disparity measurements, accommodative and vergence facility, and Nott/MEM retinoscopy. The card also facilitates the development of forced vergence fixation disparity curves for a more in-depth analysis.
