Retinomax 3 uses a Lithium Ion battery (vs NiMH for Retinomax 2) and is lighter and faster than the Retinomax 2.  Due to the newer electronics the battery life is significantly improved.  It is now possible to remove two of the chargers and 2 of the batteries from the kit and still maintain battery operation for up to 8 hours.  This also removes about 4 lbs from the weight of the case.</div>

(43 linear inches).  The autorefractor case weighs 22.5lbs (18.5 for Retinomax 3 case) while the optical case weighs 20.5 lbs.  The laptop cases weight different amounts but on the average they weigh 13.5lbs.  All must be carried on the plane and cannot be checked.  One person can carry one black case and the laptop case.  This is because the black case is the carry-on and the laptop case is considered a "personal" item.  A second person carrys the other black case as carry-on luggage.  Both black cases will easily fit in the overhead compartments in the plane.  Call or <A

Christ.  One excellent method of ministry is to provide eyeglasses.  These eyeglasses not only allow the person to read their Bible but to also improve their standard of living.  Unlike providing a supply of medication, these glasses will typically be useful for several years.   These teams are prevented from doing their best by a lack of training, professional assistance and proper equipment.</div> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="addressing_this_need"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="bottom" WIDTH="1" HSPACE="0" VSPACE="0" ></A></U></B><B><U>ADDRESSING THIS NEED</U></B></div> <div> Kendall Optometry Ministry (KOM) has assisted by providing numerous training manuals for the non-professional.  Numerous different computer programs have also been written and provided either free or at a very small cost.  The most useful program is called the Eyeglasses Inventory Program used to assist in the selection of 1000s of pairs of used prescription eyeglasses.  With over 5 years in development, this program uses advanced optometry principles provided by experienced optometrists and described in textbooks.    The intelligence built into this program gives the user the benefit of some of the experience and knowledge of these optometrists.  Click <A HREF="http://eyeglasses-inventory.com/" TARGET="_top"

that several teams join with KOM to purchase advanced optometry and computing equipment which can be shared by these teams.  No one team can afford or justify the purchase of this equipment but together the cost is reasonable and the utilization of the equipment is far better.  One set of this equipment was purchased and the debt has been liquidated.  Two other sets were purchased later.  In 2007 two more sets were purchased bringing the total to 5 sets.  Other sets will be purchased in the future.</div> <bR> <bR> <div> <B><U> <A NAME="a_participant"><IMG BORDER="0" SRC="1x1.gif"
