Lombart CVS iMac — Used Computerized Visual Acuity System
The Lombart CVS iMac is a complete computerized visual acuity system that runs Lombart’s CVS chart software on a 24″ Apple iMac LED display. This used lombart cvs imac ships with wireless remote and wall mount — a one-piece replacement for traditional projector charts that delivers digital chart presentation at a sub-$2.5K price point.
The system replaces aging slide projectors and bulb-based chart panels with a modern LCD display showing Snellen, ETDRS, Sloan, tumbling-E, and Landolt-C optotypes plus contrast sensitivity, color vision, stereo, and pediatric chart sets. Operator control is via the included wireless remote — the iMac is mounted out of patient view, eliminating the projector-screen-mirror geometry that older lanes require.
According to a National Library of Medicine-indexed multi-center study (J Optom, 2026), computerized vision charts deliver clinically equivalent acuity measurements compared to traditional ETDRS projection — supporting the digital-chart workflow the Lombart CVS iMac was designed to deliver.
Why Practices Choose the Lombart CVS iMac
Apple iMac 24″ LED display — high-contrast color-accurate panel; longer service life than projector bulbs.- One-piece all-in-one design — no separate projector + screen + mirror geometry; mounts to a single wall location.
- Wireless remote control — operator advances charts without leaving the patient chair.
- Multiple optotype sets — Snellen, ETDRS, Sloan, tumbling-E, Landolt-C, pediatric icon charts.
- Contrast sensitivity, color vision, stereo charts — standard chart panel functions plus extras.
- Randomized presentation — software randomizes letter order to prevent memorization, improving repeat-test accuracy.
- Lombart-developed CVS software — developed by Lombart Instruments, a long-established US ophthalmic equipment distributor.
- No bulb replacements — eliminates the recurring bulb-cost line item of slide-projector charts.
Clinical Applications
- Routine refraction acuity testing — primary distance visual acuity measurement in optometry and ophthalmology lanes.
- Pre/post-cataract acuity comparison — randomized chart presentation reduces memorization bias on repeat visits.
- Pediatric acuity exams — picture and tumbling-E optotypes for non-readers.
- Contrast sensitivity testing — for cataract candidates and low-vision patients.
- Driver vision screening — DOT and DMV-style acuity workflows.
- School/sports physicals — fast multi-patient throughput.
Who This Is For
- Optometry and ophthalmology practices upgrading from a slide projector or LED chart panel to a digital LCD chart system.
- Multi-doctor practices standardizing chart presentation across multiple lanes.
- Mobile screening clinics where a one-piece wall-mount unit is easier to relocate than a separate projector + screen.
- School nurses, sports medicine, and primary care offices doing fast-throughput vision screening.
- Practices wanting Snellen + ETDRS + pediatric optotypes in one unit at a sub-$2.5K price point.
