Thank you for making inquiries about the Digital EyeRonec Iris camera and Lens System

The EyeRonec lens was developed over a period  of some 7 years. It has taken that length of time for the price, features and quality to come together.

The lens and the lighting unit is precision manufactured in  quantities of 100 units at the time and incorporates the electronics, lights,

(Two sets: one of  2 and one of  4 (providing the possibility to use 2, 4 and 6 lights), the power supply and a precision coated lens for the camera.

The EyeRonec lens unit is the most valuable  item of the whole system.

There are many hundreds of  EyeRonec systems in use, in a dozens of countries.

The lens unit is especially designed for a specific model  of camera and when this model is replaced by the manufactures we may  again  have to redesign the whole lens unit.

Currently we are using the Canon camera and printer. No computer is required.

The lens unit is not suitable to be used with any other camera and is not suitable for any other Canon model but the one it is supplied with.

The Camera and lens system connects to a VIDEO MONITOR to enable you to focus and compose the picture in FULL size. This is VERY IMPORTANT !

Please note that Video monitors are NOT computer monitors they are more like TV sets and many can receive TV signals as well as connect to video, DVD and movie cameras.

Live blood testing monitors are also Video monitors, so if you still have a CRT (big heavy thing) monitor you can upgrade and use the EyeRonec monitor.

The camera may be used to download images (previously recorded) to a computer for manipulation, assessment and storage.

As an iriscope, the simplest way to use the system is to connect the camera to the monitor for instant display of the iris image so you can compose and focus properly and take the shot correctly at first go, the photo printer will  print a 6x4” photograph for your patient file.

The Canon printer we use will print a postcard size picture in around a minute and the photograph is guaranteed not to fade for 100 years. The cost per print is around 30 cents and reducing all the time as manufacturer lower the cost of paper and cartridge sets. ( No inkjets !)

We have designed the EyeRonec Iris camera system to be affordable and the best value for money for a complete iriscope.

If you have a tight budget and like to use the system in your clinic, we can provide assistance with finance on $ 1000.—deposit  for approved clients.   

The EyeRonec is compact, professional and easier to operate than most other system on the market an you SEE the picture FULL screen size BEFORE you take the shot.

The EyeRonec is not made by a hobbyist, one unit at the time, EyeRonec manufactures currently 100 units in one batch.

No computer is needed to operate the system, but with the uses of a special card, installed into the PC, your PC and monitor may be used.

There is also a device available that connects to the USB of a laptop to display the LIVE image on the LCD screen of the laptop.

Neither of these systems show as clear an image than the direct-connect VIDEO monitor image, because the computer can only handle a limited number of pixels as a live stream. 

Computer analyzing of the iris is very deceptive, as there is no marking in the iris to show the correct location of 12 o’clock. 

So there always will be a deviation. A paper chart is easier to use than a computer mouse driven pointer and you learn the zones quickly.

Producing bar graphs (As some of the computer programs do) based on the colouring of the iris is not a science and one should be very careful to rely on these. Experience really is the best tool; Ask your patient pertinent questions and soon you know what each markings represent.

If you like clinical experience you may spend a day in our busy clinic for free or  join one of the Iridology classes conducted by renowned Naturopath and international presenter Catherine Chan.

We do travel often and if you like to have a demonstration we may be able to meet.

Some practitioners have come to see us and stayed  over night to have  enough training to put the system together and use the camera. There is no charge for this, you are welcome to visit our busy clinic and practice with the EyeRonec system, just call before hand.

Most purchasers  just follow our easy step by step instructions and set-up and operate the system in no time.

FAQs

Q. Where are the bold statements and state of the art websites?

A. Sorry we are Naturopath NOT sales people we leave the bull dust in the paddock, where it should be....

Q. Can I buy the lens only?

A. The lens unit is designed for a specific model camera and may be of no use at all for other cameras. We can not give support at all to people who want to adapt our lens system for use on other equipment, hence we sell complete systems.

Q. Can I buy the camera, I already have a printer and monitor.?

A. We have found that people who purchase just the camera seem to run into a lot of difficulties (NO it does NOT just plug into a computer for instance and NO it does NOT connect to a computer monitor) They ask for lots of advice from us to get things working. This takes valuable time and we seem to re-invent the wheel  each time, so the complete package is a much better deal.

Q. Why can’t I use a computer monitor which is a lot cheaper.?

A. As discuss before the camera has a live video output signal that is ONLY compatible with Video monitors (RCA connector composite video) and TV sets with AV RCA socket and also Live blood test Monitors. (Also modern video data projectors)

Computer monitors (XVGA etc.) use different standards. However the monitor we supply CAN be used as a computer monitor as well as a S-Video movie-camera monitor.!

Q. I have a good quality camera and with my macro lens I can make pictures of the iris but I have problems with the flash lights covering a 

     large part of the eye and often the image is not clear. Can you help me fix these problems?

A. Sorry we have taken many years to develop the EyeRonec lens unit, we can not assist you in re-inventing the wheel. 

Q.  I travel from clinic to clinic how difficult is it to carry the EyeRonec system?

A.  The camera  and printer and LCD monitor ALL fit into the case we supply and weighs around 10Kg.

      So it is a true ALL-IN-ONE  system, which has the LCD monitor stored in the lid of the case. 

Q. I have a table at a market and can not always get to mains power, do you have a battery operated system?

A. The standard EyeRonec system can run of the car battery with an optional inverter unit (around $100)

     There is a limit to the time the system will operate from the battery. This depends on the size and age of the car battery.

     We also have a small screen EyeRonec (7"screen, about 6x4 postcard size) that is supplied in a small "Make-up" case that will operate

     for a period of 8 - 12 hrs from the car battery        Just one tiny case to carry…easy!

Q. Some suppliers have a maintenance service for $ 400.- a year to maintain  the system, do you have a service like that?

A. No The EyeRonec system needs NO service  or maintenance and NO batteries are used, the whole system runs from the mains power.

     You may have to clean the lens  now and then if you work in a dusty environment and take care of all the connections and cables.

     Cable tidies can keep everything nice and neat. The Lens system is conditionally guaranteed for up to 5 years (Camera and printer 3 years in Australia).

Q. Where can I purchase supplies of paper?

A. Photographic supplies and computer shops will stock the paper/ink packs, but just in case we keep stocks on hand  and our price is very 

     competitive and delivery is by express post, so in Australia you will get the parcel the next day or so.

Q. Do I need to upgrade after a while?

A. No not so far. We have gained lots of experience and received feed back from the users over many years. The current product incorporates just about all

     the features Practitioners have ever asked for. Since inception we only changed the lens barrel from plastic to anodized aluminium and incorporated settings 

     for poppy and deepset eyes with a free moving eye-cup, we added more lights and improved the lens quality, but the system is basically still the same.

     Should any major improvement or addition come along we will inform you and give you the option to upgrade.

Q. Do you have representatives in my area? Australia is so far away.

A. We may be a long distance away but with modern communication and transport we may as well be in your country.

     But we do have representation in the USA and Europe if you like to talk to a local person. 

Q. Why do you sell 3.2Mp or 4Mp cameras I can get 8 Mp cameras from my photo shop.

A. Canon, being the leader in camera manufacturing changes its models often. Only ONE type of camera suits a particular lens unit and we do not know if the 

     next model that will be released by Canon will have the facility and features we need. So we buy up in large quantities to secure supply.

     Any camera used for displaying images on a Video Monitor or computer screen does not need to be higher than 2 Mp (Yes 2,000,000 pixels)

     This is because the TV video screen you have in your home has only 215,000 pixels !! Hang on you say I have a XVGA computer screen the best  

     there is......Well that screen has around 1Mp so still much less then the camera will produce...... So 3.2 Mp is plenty for iridology and  the photo printer has 

     around 3Mp capability, so as you can see it all fits together well.

     "I want to make photographs of flowers and insects and quality family shots too... " Yes you CAN use the camera without the EyeRonec lens for that   

     purpose and if you like to make some wall poster prints select a camera with 5Mp, 6Mp or 7.1Mp and your wall posters will be exelent.

Q. If I decide to take your offer to pay the unit over 2 years what do I need to qualify?

A. We need $ 1000.- deposit, a copy of your drivers licence, social security number, your name and address, an ATMS, IIPA or other professional   

    organisation registration number, credit card details and a signed lease agreement. The payments are charged to your credit card each month.

    A receipt for the equipment will be issued  after it has been paid in full. A small amount of interest is charged and refunded pro-rata if paid before time.

Q. I have seen iriscope cameras advertised with extended warranty I can purchase for around $400.00 - $ 600.00 depending on the model camera,

     Do you offer this service?

A. The Eyeronec-Canon system is guaranteed by Canon for 1 year in most countries and 3 years in Australia. You may purchase an additional 2 years     

     Canon warranty for $ 95.00 to cover camera and printer if you have an Australian address The EyeRonec lens unit has 5 years minimum guarantee.
