A research-heavy project from my fourth (Junior) year at DAAP. I focused heavily on how an optometrist ran appointments according to the equipment he had at his disposal.

The station desk was designed to keep controls for all aspects of the appointment in one easy-to-reach place.

The previously bulky lamp was redesigned to fold out from the main station base with an easy-grip handle, with energy-saving LED lights. Previous lamps had no handles, no storage and used out-dated (and very hot) halogen lights.

Easy-to-use touch controls mounted on the slit lamp table's arm.

To accomodate the humans using the machine, the slit lamp table now has soft curves cut into the sides to allow for the ever-protuding bellies of American consumers. At far right is a no-slip grip groove for the optometrist's use.

The patient's chair was designed for comfort. A wider back allows for more room, and built-in curvature supports the patient's lumbar much better than current blocky chairs.
