An eye chart acuity appraisal program with multiple tests, written for my father’s optometric (eye doctor) practice
Rating: 10 (Works well, has tons of features, and even works at appropriate speeds even though it’s in VB.NET. (That took a lot of tweaking!))
Project Time: 1/2006-8/2006: 60
Languages: VB6, VB.NET
Requirements: .NET Runtimes
Downloads: No downloads currently available
Sections: Information, Content, Concepts, Notes, Comments
Information
Can’t really provide much info ATM due to possible commercial applicable reasons.
Content
Update on 1/29/2013: I've been torn for a very long time whether to just release this to the public domain or not. I think it really has some great commercial applications, but I'm not really in the commercial application support/release biz...

But if you stop by his office for an exam, you can see it in action :).
Was originally programmed in VB6, but was reprogrammed in VB.NET when I realized my dad might want to play with the code too.

Monitor adjustment, .NET library, raster and vector graphic manipulation
Notes
There is no other solid program of this genre in the market that I could find, which is rather sad.

Hi Dakusan

I'm an elderlish optometry PhD student in London, UK  and am looking for alternative test chart software for a single  location.  How do I evaluate/buy/admire a copy of yours?
