The refraction classic gets a new design

Subjective refraction is even simpler and more comfortable with the OCULUS Universal Trial Frame UB 3+ – a real step forward for refractionists and clients alike. Not only is the UB 3+ exceptionally lightweight; all of its operating elements have been ergonomically shaped, and every detail designed with functionality in mind.

The new Universal Trial Frame has a chic and modern appearance, further emphasizing the skill of the refractionist. One thing will never change though, and that’s OCULUS’ signature quality. The OCULUS UB 3+ is also 100 % made in Germany. All 218 individual components are assembled by hand so that every tiny detail is perfect.

The secret to the success of the Universal Trial Frame UB 3+

We listened very closely to our clients when we developed the new UB 3+. We gathered and examined lots of feedback and suggestions from the day-to-day work of refractionists, and put them into practice with a clear objective in mind. The result is plain to see. It makes everyday work easier for every refraction professional – and that’s what it’s all about.

Fashioned by hand – scrutinized by high-tech coordinate measuring machines

The optimized UB 3+ is the OCULUS trial frame rejuvenated – carefully crafted by hand with the highest attention to detail. All materials are fine-tuned for optimal coordination, inspected, and measured with our 3D-coordinate measuring machine.

FAQ

Can any trial lens be used in an OCULUS Universal Trial Frame?

Universal Trial Frames UB 3/UB 3+, UB 4 and UB 6 are all suitable for any trial lens conforming to DIN EN ISO 9801 and having a rim diameter of 38 mm, such as a OCULUS “tl” trial lens.
However, our Universal Trial Frame UB 5 for small heads requires trial lenses of the “tls” line with a diameter of 28 mm. These also conform to DIN EN ISO 9801 and are available nowhere in the world but from OCULUS.

Are there spare parts available for these trial frames?

Yes, all spare parts are available. Please contact the distributor from whom you bought your trial frame.

Are OCULUS Universal Trial Frames manufactured by hand?

Yes, all components of every one of our Universal Trial Frames are assembled manually with great precision. Here too, we stay true to our quality claim: Made in Germany – made by OCULUS.

Are there polarizing filter available for every Universal Trial Frame?

Yes, polarizing filters are always optionally available. Those for the UB 6 have a clip for easy mounting, while those for the UB 4 and UB 5 are to be directly slipped onto the trial frame.
Polarizing filters with a clip as well as those of the slip-on type are for lateral mounting and can be easily flipped to the side when not needed.
On the UB 3/UB 3+ the polarizing filter has a central mount and can be simply removed after use. All linear polarizing filters are reversible.
Circular polarizing filters are available both with a clip and in a slip-on version.
There are also circular polarizing filters available in trial lens size for use in a slot of the rear lens holder if one should be free.

How can I clean my Universal Trial Frames?

If necessary we recommend cleaning your trial frames with a soft lint-free cloth only. To clean a heavily soiled trial frame you can use a damp cloth and a little household dishing-washing liquid. Never use alcohol, ether or similar solvents, let alone aggressive chlorinated, scouring or corrosive detergents.
For disinfection we recommend disinfection cloths such as Pursept®-A Xpress or Mikrozid® Sensitive Wipes from Schülke und Mayr GmbH. Please contact your OCULUS distributor so that they can order through OCULUS, or contact the source supplier directly: www.schuelke.com.

Does the scale on OCULUS Universal Trial Frames for reading the axis and base position conform to the TABO graduated arc scale according to DIN EN ISO 8429?

 

Yes, it conforms to DIN EN ISO 8429.

What warranty is there for OCULUS Universal Trial Frames?

The warranty period is one year from delivery, or from acceptance, if acceptance is required.

In what kind of packaging are OCULUS Universal Trial Frames delivered?

Universal Trial Frames UB 3+, UB 4, UB 5 and UB 6 are all delivered in a telescopic cardboard box.
This telescopic box has been designed so that it can be used for storing the trial frame in a drawer or together with the refraction unit. It is lined with hard-wearing PE foam to protect the trial frame.

Are OCULUS Universal Trial Frames latex-free?

Yes. None of the OCULUS Universal Trial Frames contains latex.

How many slots does each of the Universal Trial Frames have?

UB 3/UB 3+, UB 4 and UB 5: Three slots in the front lens holder and two in the rear lens holder on either side ⇒ 10 slots altogether

UB 6: Four slots in the front and two in the rear lens holder on either side ⇒ 12 slots altogether.

How many nose pads are delivered with the OCULUS Universal Trial Frames?

UB 6: four nose pads in total
UB 5: three nose pads in total
UB 4: three nose pads in total
UB 3+: two nose pads in total

Are the nose pads interchangeable within the OCULUS Universal Trial Frame family?

Yes, with the exception of the UB 3.

How much do the OCULUS Universal Trial Frames weigh?

UB 6: approx. 61 g
UB 5: approx. 48 g
UB 4: approx. 64 g
UB 3: approx. 58 g
UB 3+: approx. 52 g (10 % lighter than the UB 3)
note: specifications are subject to change!

How can I read the current vertex distance (VD) free of parallax?

The transparent sighting bar has one scale on its surface and one inside. Take your VD reading when you see the two scales in alignment. The millimetre values on the scale refer to the eye-side vertex of a trial lens located in the first slot of the rear lens holder (next to the trial frame body).

In which slot should the reference lens be when measuring VD?

DIN EN ISO 1366 defines VD as follows: absolute value of the distance between the rear surface of the spectacle lens and the corneal apex measured along the line of sight, i.e. orthogonally to the plane of the rim.
The measurement should be taken with the reference lens in the first slot of the rear lens holder (next to the trial frame body).
