Step-by-Step Guide to the Optovera Test

Practical guide for proper test execution.

The Optovera test is designed to be simple, fast, and repeatable. Below are the steps a worker should follow to complete the measurement correctly.

1. Preparation

  • Remove helmets, glasses, or other items that may interfere with the visor.

  • Ensure the device is charged and turned on.

  • Confirm the visor is clean and in good condition.

2. Putting on the visor

  • The worker holds the device and fits it firmly on the face.

  • Make sure no external light enters: the visor must be well sealed.

3. Dark adaptation (60 seconds)

  • Once the visor is in place, a 1-minute countdown starts in complete darkness.

  • During this time, the worker’s pupils dilate in preparation.

  • The worker must remain still and relaxed.

4. Light stimulus and recording (4 seconds)

  • After adaptation, the internal light activates for 4 seconds.

  • The worker must:

    • Keep eyes fully open.

    • Look straight ahead without shifting gaze.

    • Avoid blinking during those 4 seconds.

  • A video of the pupil’s response is recorded.

5. Data processing

  • The device analyzes key pupil reflex parameters (initial diameter, amplitude, latency, speed).

  • Results are automatically compared to the worker’s personal baseline.

6. Immediate result

  • In seconds, a result appears: Fit or Unfit.

  • If “Unfit,” it is recommended to repeat the test a few minutes later.

7. Data synchronization

  • If online, results are automatically uploaded to the Optovera cloud.

  • If offline, they’re stored and synced later.

Conclusion

The Optovera test is a standardized 1-minute + 4-second procedure designed to deliver fast, reliable results. By following these steps, HSE supervisors ensure valid measurements that support preventive risk control.
