The refraction classic gets a new design

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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 nose pads in total
UB 5: three nose pads in total
UB 4: three nose pads in total

Yes, with the exception of the UB 3.

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!

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).

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).
