ARK-530A autorefracto-keratometer - refraction measurements
This device combines two new measurement methods - the Pupillary Area Detection Method and SLD (Super Luminescent Diode) technology. These innovations deliver unrivalled precision and reliability in objective refraction measurement.
The Pupillary Area Detection Method analyzes a larger area (Ø max. 4 mm), providing more reliable, realistic data that is close to manifest refraction. Equipped with an SLD and a sensitive CCD sensor, the ARK-530A improves measurement quality with a sharper, higher-contrast image than a conventional LED. This guarantees enhanced measurement capability, even under conditions of media transparency (cataract, IOL) and ambient light variations.
In addition to measuring refraction, the ARK-530A offers fast, reliable keratometry measurements, using a Placido sight for central measurement and peripheral measurements at the four cardinal points. The wide measurement range from -30 to +25 D expands the patient panel, including strong ametropes. The limit of measurable pupil diameter is extended to Ø 2 mm, enabling measurement through smaller pupils.
The unit facilitates workflow with 3D alignment, auto-focusing and automated measurements, offering significant time savings while ensuring optimum reliability. The 5.7" swiveling color LCD screen displays data and the image of the patient's eye in a user-friendly way, enhancing ease of use and reliability of results.
