auto refractor Insights

What is auto refractor?

An autorefractor is a computer-controlled machine used during an eye exam to provide an objective measurement of a person's refractive error and prescription for eyeglasses or contact lenses. It automates the process of refraction, which traditionally involves a manual subjective examination by an eye doctor.

What other technologies are related to auto refractor?

auto refractor Complementary Technologies

IOL Master

IOL Master measures axial length, corneal curvature, and anterior chamber depth which are important parameters for IOL power calculation. Auto refractors can provide the refractive error component needed for comprehensive IOL planning, making them complementary.

Topography

Corneal topography maps the curvature of the cornea. This information, when combined with refractive error from auto refractor, provides a more complete picture of the eye's optical system.
