Autorefraction
Get Refined
Add subjective visual acuity testing to refine a patient’s measurements with Topcon’s KR 800S Auto Kerato-Refractometer with Subjective and Glare Testing.
The new 5-in-1 KR-800S incorporates Topcon’s Rotary Prism technology for accuracy and consistency and adds on Subjective Visual Acuity testing for good measure.
Check for near and far distance, contrast sensitivity and have access to a grid and glare test. These tools are particularly useful for cataract surgery candidates who complain of poor night vision.

Wrap it Up
If you’ve been in the market for wrap frames to offer in your dispensary, add Zeiss Progressive Choice Plus Sport to your list of lens choices. Zeiss has extended its line of lenses to include those specifically designed for wrap frames.
Zeiss says the Choice Plus Sport design combines advanced customization for the patient’s full prescription with its unique prism compensation method. This combination widens the area of clear vision by as much as 50% over standard lens designs in wrap frames, while dramatically reducing unwanted prism, the company says.
