The Topcon KR-8000 Auto Kerato Refractometer/Keratometer is a sophisticated ophthalmic diagnostic instrument designed for accurate and reliable measurement of refractive error and corneal curvature.
 
This device is essential for eye care professionals in determining precise eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions.
 
Key Features and Benefits:
Accurate Refraction and Keratometry: Enables precise measurement of refractive error and corneal curvature.
Rotary Prism Measuring System: Utilizes Topcon's advanced rotary prism principle for highly reliable data acquisition.
Small Pupil Measurement: Provides accurate measurements even with pupil dilation as narrow as 2.0mm, beneficial for patients with glaucoma, asymmetric pupils, or elderly patients.
Off-Centered Ring Target: Measures areas previously occluded by small pupils.
Wider Fundus Area Measurement: Prism angle allows for a wider fundus area to be measured.
KR-8000PA Functionality: The KR-8000PA model combines auto refraction, auto keratometry, and a corneal mapping system in one instrument.
Corneal Mapping: Offers corneal mapping functionality (KR-8000PA).
10 Placido Rings: Features 10 placido rings for enhanced testing precision (KR-8000PA).
Corneal Measurements up to 10mm: Provides corneal measurements out to 10mm (KR-8000PA).
Optional Software Kit: Available software kit for printing detailed color corneal maps (KR-8000PA).
Auto Measurement: Automates the measurement process for efficiency.
Scenic Fixation Chart: Enhances patient comfort and accuracy during measurement.
Omni-Direction Joystick: Topcon's Omni-direction joystick allows for one-handed, fast, positive, and responsive control.
 
Purpose:
The Topcon KR-8000 Autorefractor/Keratometer measures the refractive error of the eye and the curvature of the cornea. It combines the functionality of an autorefractor, which measures the amount and type of refractive error by analyzing how light is refracted by the eye, and a keratometer, which measures the curvature of the cornea.
