Measurement Method
Pupil Zone Imaging Method
The HandyRef-K/HandyRef analyzes a wide area (Max. 4 mm diameter) pupil zone. By measuring the light coming through the pupil zone in a wide area, moreaccurate measurement data closer to the subjective refraction is now possible. Small pupil (Min. 2 mm diameter) can also be measured.
Super Luminescent Diode (SLD) and Highly Sensitive CCD
Super luminescent diode (SLD) light source provides a sharper and better defined ring image compared to the conventional LED. The highly sensitive CCD camera detects the image even if the fundus reflection is weak.
SynchroScan Technology
The HandyRef-K/HandyRef adopted an excellent measurement method; “SynchroScan Technology”. Measurements start when the alignment starts, and locks in the data when alignment becomes optimal as a measurement value. It provides a more stable measurement value more effectively and efficiently.
Excellence of Advanced Functions
Full Graphic LCD with 3.5-inch Color Screen
The full graphic 3.5-inch color LCD is 40% larger than the previous model. Clear screen design and intuitive icons similar to the ARK-1/AR-1 series provide high user-friendliness.
Focusing Indicator
By detecting the distance between the instrument and patient’s eye, the alignment guide mark is displayed on the screen to facilitate smooth measurement.
Supine Position Mode
By tilting the instrument 60o or more downward, it enters supine position mode automatically. When measuring from patient’s side, the cylinder axis is compensated by 90° before display.
Measurement Mode
Auto Shot Mode
When the alignment/focusing becomes optimal, the HandyRef-K/HandyRef gets the measurement data automatically. If unstable data is included, additional measurement automatically starts.
Cataract Measurement Mode
If appropriate data cannot be obtained by standard measurement, it enters the cataract measurement mode automatically to harvest the data more easily.
Quick Measurement Mode
The quick measurement mode provides faster and simpler measurement for patients who have difficulty in alignment. By relaxing the measurement range, children or patients whose eye movement is not stable can still be measured smoothly.
Additional Measurement Mode
If the measurement data obtained by auto shot is not reliable, additional measurement will automatically be performed by additional measurement (AM) mode.
