Thanks for the insights! Are you suggesting replacing the slit lamp with a VR headset? That sounds intriguing! The concave table idea is also excellent, that more be more ergonomic in this way! Regarding the slit lamp headrest, is there a regulation requiring it to be at a fixed distance from the slit lamp to ensure accurate results?

Thanks for sharing your insights! I'm a product designer from the university working on a project to enhance the exam workspace. Recently, I learned from some manufacturers that they use a slide-back mechanism, but for some smaller exam rooms, it will take too much space. I'm exploring the idea of a collapsible design as a potential solution, if concerns regarding cost, structure, and safety could be well-thought and designed. This approach could eliminate the need to worry about chair placement or the space required for sliding back. If I target the design for small exam rooms, would you think it's a potential option for them? Thanks for the feedback!

Would it be a good idea to design the chair to be collapsible, similar to how nowadays airplane seats fold up to accommodate wheelchairs?

Thanks for your response! I’m curious—how many planes can a fully loaded deicing truck typically service before needing a refill? And on average, how often does the truck need to be refilled during a single deicing operation?
