New Fresnel lens loupe for nystagmus observation suitable for use by medical staff in emergency departments
The results showed that the loupe is helpful in observing nystagmus, which is weakly observed with the naked eye under bright light. This portable, low-cost loupe, which yields superior results, can serve as an alternative to conventional Frenzel goggles in emergency medical settings where rapid assessment is required.
