Topcon KR-1: Automated and Compact Kerato-Refractometer for Precise Measurements
The Topcon KR-1 is an automated kerato-refractometer that embodies innovation in ophthalmic examination, delivering a comprehensive experience through its advanced features. This compact and ergonomic device redefines the standards of vision measurement, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
Equipped with an intuitive touchscreen, the KR-1 simplifies the process of acquiring ocular measurements. The use of Topcon's Rotating Prism technology ensures exceptionally high-quality refraction results. The eccentric rotation of the measurement ring minimizes artifacts, providing unparalleled precision in corneal measurements.
One remarkable feature of the KR-1 is its total flexibility, allowing it to adapt to any examination space. The swiveling touchscreen offers a variety of positions for the operator, optimizing interaction with the patient. The compact and ergonomic design ensures a comfortable position for the patient, with tilting of both the patient's head and the optical head.
The integrated chinrest facilitates access for optimal interaction with the patient, enhancing the overall experience.
The KR-1 automatically detects abnormal eye conditions, such as cataracts, adjusting the mode automatically for continuous measurement. This feature enables a comprehensive vision assessment.
For contact lens adaptations, the KR-1 excels with the ability to measure at 8 peripheral points of the corneal curvature radius. Rotating Prism technology also allows measurements through small pupils (2 mm), offering maximum versatility in various clinical scenarios.
The swiveling color touchscreen is not only an asset for flexibility but also for ease of use. The operator can position themselves optimally around the patient, facilitating the measurement process. Measurements for both eyes are initiated with a simple press on the LCD screen at the center of the pupil, providing an operator-independent and easily delegable experience.
The KR-1 includes a manual mode for focus control, providing additional flexibility to the operator in different clinical situations. The fully automated touchscreen makes all commands accessible, simplifying the measurement acquisition process.
In summary, it strikes the perfect balance between modernity, automation, and ease of use. It offers precise and rapid measurements while ensuring patient comfort. Versatile and compact, the KR-1 adapts to various clinical situations, making it an essential tool for modern and efficient ophthalmic practice."
