PlusoptiX  A12R & A12C
Plusoptix has designed handheld autorefractors for babies, children and uncooperative patients that measure the refraction of both eyes (binocular) from one meter distance within one second. The purpose of a measurement with the Plusoptix Pediatric autorefractor is to provide a baseline refraction as initial examination in the doctor’s office.

In combination with other initial examination tests an eye care professional is able to determine the scope of the following eye examination. If a cycloplegic retinoscopy is required, the baseline refraction provides a valuable starting point for myopia, astigmatism and axis measurements, thus saving precious chair time.
With the possibility of connecting the device to your EMR system, various other options of documenting the measurement results, while maintaining high demands in product quality and customer service, allows Plusoptix Pediatric autorefractors to deliver an optimal solution for fast and uncomplicated initial examinations in your office.
Basic features

  • Binocular readings
  • Monocular readings (e.g. in strabismus or aphakia patients)
  • Measurement from 1m (3.3 feet) distance to the child
  • Measurement in less than one second
  • Can be used in undilated pupils
  • Fully automated function
  • Children can be measured starting at 6 months of age
  • Measurement is delegable and can easily be performed by an Assistant
  • Possibility to measure over glasses and contact lenses
  • Can also be used in cycloplegia under certain conditions
Measurement results

Plusoptix devices provide reliable measurement values of:
  • Refraction (Sphere, Cylinder, Axis)
  • Pupil diameter and pupil distance
  • Symmetry of corneal reflexes
With these measurement values it is possible to detect e.g. following most prevalent childhood vision disorders that may lead to the development of amblyopia (lazy eye) including:
  • Hyperopia (farsightedness)
  • Myopia (nearsightedness)
  • Astigmatism (blurred vision)
  • Anisometropia (unequal refractive power)
  • Anisocoria (unequal pupil size)
  • Strabismus (Eye misalignment)
With help of the measurement picture it is also possible to detect cataracts or corneal scars.
Without dilation
Based on eccentric photo retinoscopy no dilation solution is needed. The use of the device is extremely simple. The device gives an indication of the correct distance from the patient and with the push of a button, it automatically takes the measurement in 0.5sec.
Portable
The device works with conventional rechargeable batteries, thereby making it fully portable and can be easily used in different work-spaces.
Touch Screen 4.3 "
Integrated touch screen for operating the device. Measures simultaneously both eyes.
