The Vision-R® 800 smart refractor integrates high-resolution optical modules and advanced control algorithms to perform refractions from traditional 0.25 D down to 0.01 D resolution in both sphere and cylinder.
By measuring dioptric vision sensitivity, the Vision-R 800 enables precise use of the patient’s perceptual threshold for precise final adjustments. It allows several types of refraction procedures: manual refraction using gold-standard tests, automated routines via embedded Smart Programs and customized sequences.
The continuous power variation offers a smooth patient experience with no break in vision. Real-life inspired images, in addition to gold-standard vision charts, change the way the patient discovers their new prescription.
1. Empower your refraction practice
Precision & Efficiency
Thanks to the exclusive optical modules and Smart Programs, you can measure your patients’ dioptric sensitivity and to effectively personalize the refraction outcomes to 0.01 D.
An extensive range of visual tests
You can expand your capabilities with a comprehensive suite of embedded visual tests (e.g. Binocular Vision, Charts, etc.), enabling you to deliver a tailored refraction process — all from one refraction system. To efficiently streamline your workflow and enhance your daily practice and habits, you can develop your own programs using the tests library.
A comprehensive range of visual acuity charts
- Logarithmic, Decimal, Snellen types
- Letters, Numbers, Tumbling E, Landolt C, HOTV
- The Auckland Optotypes
- Wide range of customization: Crowding effects, Pointers, Low or Reverted contrasts, Duochrome filter
- Record Visual Acuity directly from the Vision-R 800 console.
A wide range of binocular vision testing
- Binocular perceptual equalization: prismatic, polarized, red/green, letters
- Binocular accommodation equalization tests: prismatic, polarized, red/green
- MKH complete testing sequence: cyclophoria, Stereo Acuity Test D10 by Stollenwerk up to4.8”, horizontal and vertical anizeikonia
- Binocular vision and accommodation: Von Graefe dissociated phorias, associated phorias, Maddox, Convergence Amplitudes, NRA / PRA, LAG, Fusion
A powerful optical module
The exclusive optical module provides a seamless refraction experience thanks to continuous power variations: variable step size from 0.25 D up to 0.01 D in sphere and cylinders with 1° axis.
Silent instantaneous power changer with no vision interruption leads to patient comfort.
The Digital Infinite Refraction™ technology synchronously compensates and makes necessary adjustments in sphere, cylinder and axis to refract in 3 dimensions. Final results can be reached more directly than with traditional methods.
Comfort thanks to ergonomic controls
Refract intuitively thanks to the minimalistic physical phoropter controls. Equipped with a 10.4” wide touchscreen and keyboard, the system allows you to run complete refraction sequences while focusing on the patient. The user interface is designed to gain efficiency when performing manual examinations.
2. Deliver high-resolution examinations
From standard to high-resolution increments
Choose your preferred refraction step size: 0.01 D with Precise Programs or 0.05 D to 0.25 D and more manually.
Digital vertex distance measurement
Integrated bilateral vertex distance measurement allows automatic compensation of the correction and ensures precise patient positioning, contributing to a personalized and accurate refraction examination.
The vertex distance control with bilateral cameras ensures precision throughout the examination. Automatic compensation to the reference vertex and screen distance calculates the true prescription. Multiple customizable export formats are available for ophthalmic spectacle
lenses (e.g., 12 mm) or contact lenses (0 mm), using manufacturers’ reference back vertex distances. Data can be exported in 0.01 D or 0.25 D resolution, with or without compensation for chart system distance proximity.
Precision at the heart of the vision care journey
Most patients have greater sensitivity than the traditional 0.25 D increments during the refraction examination.
Prescribe Vision Performance (PVP™)
With PVP™ (Prescribe Vision Performance), Vision-R 800 enables measurement of personal dioptric sensitivity during the the examination. This individual parameter is used to perform fine adjustments, which can be perceived by the patient.
When performing final subjective adjustments, the PVP image can be displayed, leading patients’ perception towards comfort and performance.
This visual target developed by vision scientists contains several cues in addition to high-contrast visual acuity: textures, line orientations, diverse spatial frequencies, and colors, in a real-life inspired scene.
3. Enhance your refraction capacity
In addition to manual refraction operation, the Vision-R 800 refractor offers multiple algorithm-based Smart Programs.
The Fast & Secure programs are designed and clinically tested to provide a refraction time under 3 minutes for eligible patients, yielding similar outcomes as a gold standard manual refraction. More time can be allocated to extra examinations and screening of vision needs.
Fast & Secure built-in programs
- Semi-auto refraction: universal program for digital phoropter usage
- Smart Addition: 3-step near addition determination
- Smart Check: quick refraction without fogging
- Smart Complete: quick refraction with fogging
Easy Refraction Mode™
Whether you are looking for a fully-guided refraction experience or to implement a cross-functional workflow in your practice, the Easy Refraction Mode can help you to raise the refraction capacity. The Easy Refraction Mode is clinically designed to ease the prescription process by performing a complete refraction sequence including visual acuity and the patient’s subjective preference.
It includes:
- a dynamic refraction program automatically adapting the testing sequence to the patient’s answers
- a full-screen interface with clear instructions to follow
- a concise refraction report with key information
- an export feature to other Vision-R 800 phoropters or Vision-S™ 700 refraction station, via LAN or QR code, supporting a multi-room patient journey
4. Make your patients see the difference
Your patients enjoy a smooth view and uninterrupted vision throughout the examination. Thanks to the Digital Infinite Refraction technology, power changes happen without any break in vision.
Occluders can be personalized, ranging from masks to fogging lens of any power, allowing to manage a customized binocular refraction approach.
Final comparison step
At the end of the refractive exam, the comparison feature allows to demonstrate to patients the effect of their new correction on real-life inspired scenes and visual charts. Switch between the new refraction and the previous correction with a single click for a smooth comparison. Explain the benefits of the new correction to your patients before prescribing.
