A stand-alone station such as a kiosk (10) includes automated equipment
for performing eye examination procedures on a user positioned in the
station (11). Information derived from the examination determines
possible existence of a correctable medical condition. The station
includes a user interface (22) and a fulfillment remedy section (30) that
addresses the medical condition, as by fabrication of eyeglasses (32) for
correction of refraction error, or by communicating treatments through
the user interface to the user for treating such conditions as
age-related macula degeneration, Alzheimer's disease, or visual field
impairment. The station also includes a payment device (24) allowing the
user to directly pay for the procedure and to indirectly pay using
identified health insurance coverage.
