"This wonderful little device was so easy to use and beneficial for our service to the Guatemalan people. I have no doubt that we were able to improve their vision even more than we could have without an A-scanner. 

Two people with no opthalmic knowledge learned how to use this scanner quickly with no in-service from manufacturer and with basic probe technique training. That proves its ease of use." - Paula Wisness, RN

"3 teenage brothers 14, 15 and 18 were only able to see light and movement prior to surgery.  This is a picture of them after their first surgery.  They did so well that they all wanted their other eye done the week we were there. After the 2^nd surgery they were all excited to be seeing things that they haven't seen since infancy or early childhood due to bilateral congenital cataracts.  I am one of two R.N.s that used the palmscanner, we are obstetrical nurses and not familiar with ophthalmic equipment or the use of palm pilots.  However, your machine was very user friendly...again thank you for your generosity in allowing us to use the palmscanner."" - Paula Wisness, RN
