12.1.11 The User Interface of the Vitrectomy Console
Being the vehicle through which the user instructs/programs the machine, it is crucial for the LCD interface to be user-friendly: simple and intuitive. The designers of the software must resist using too many or too few colors as well as a menu showing too limited or too numerous options.23
Ideally, the interface should satisfy the following criteria.
•Every crucial piece of information is displayed.
–Selecting one function should then bring out the options of that function while graying out the others (see Fig. 12.2).
Fig. 12.2 An optimized display on a vitrectomy machine. All the important information is readily visible, but only the currently used application (endolaser) is highlighted. Nothing that is crucial is missing and everything needed is visible; the use of colors is sufficiently helpful without being overwhelming
•The information should be easy to find and read.
•The arrangement should be rational and the programming logical so that the user need not study the instruction booklet to understand how the touch-screen display is to be operated.24
23I once saw an advertisement in which the company was proud that its remote control for the TV had 65 buttons. Which human being would remember all the functions of all those buttons?
24I once had a camera that had four modifier buttons; operating them allowed the user to access a multitude of functions. The problem was that the camera’s capabilities in the booklet were listed by button (e.g., “if you push button A once and button B twice, you can take photos in macro
