Hans Heiss HRK-9000 Autorefractor Keratometer — Brand New with Peripheral Keratometry and IOL Mode
The Hans Heiss HRK-9000 autorefractor keratometer combines full-range automated objective refraction with peripheral keratometry and a dedicated IOL mode in a single touchscreen tabletop unit. Covering a sphere range of −25D to +22D and keratometry radii from 5.0 to 10.2 mm, the HRK-9000 handles virtually every patient presentation in a busy ophthalmology or optometry practice — including post-IOL eyes, dense cataracts, and contact lens fitting cases that require corneal periphery data beyond standard central keratometry. With a motorized chinrest, built-in thermal printer with auto-cutter, and RS-232 / USB connectivity, the Hans Heiss HRK-9000 autorefractor keratometer is a full-featured instrument built for high-volume clinical lanes.
Research published in the National Library of Medicine confirms that automated all-in-one refraction and keratometry devices deliver reliable, reproducible measurements across refraction, keratometry, and intraocular pressure — validating their use as primary instruments in high-volume clinical settings.
Why Practices Choose the Hans Heiss HRK-9000
- Peripheral keratometry — measures corneal curvature beyond the central zone using fixation lamps, providing richer topographic data for RGP and scleral lens fitting, post-LASIK evaluation, and irregular astigmatism assessment
- Wide measurement range — sphere from −25D to +22D, cylinder to ±10D, and keratometry from 5.0 to 10.2 mm radius — covers the full clinical breadth from high myopes to steep corneas
- Dedicated IOL mode — measurement mode designed for eyes with intraocular lenses or dense cataracts that cause standard refraction readings to error, supporting pre- and post-cataract surgical evaluation
- Touchscreen interface — icon-driven operation with results for up to 10 measurements stored and recalled; minimal training required for technicians
- Diameter measurement — freeze-frame touchscreen measurement of corneal diameter, pupil diameter, or hard contact lens diameter without additional instruments
- Motorized chinrest — operator-controlled height adjustment between patients keeps exam lane throughput smooth and consistent
- Built-in thermal printer with auto-cutter — prints full result slips automatically with no separate printer purchase or paper management required
- RS-232 and USB data output — connects directly to practice management systems, EHR platforms, and motorized phoropters for electronic data transfer
Clinical Applications
- Automated objective refraction as the starting point for subjective manifest refraction in routine eye exams
- Peripheral corneal curvature mapping for specialty contact lens fitting including RGP, scleral, and orthokeratology lenses
- Pre-cataract keratometry for IOL power calculation using the integrated IOL mode
- Post-refractive surgery evaluation in eyes where standard keratometry methods are unreliable
- Corneal diameter and pupil measurement for contact lens fitting and refractive surgery planning
Who This Is For
- Ophthalmology practices performing cataract workups that need peripheral keratometry and IOL mode in the same instrument
- Contact lens specialty practices requiring peripheral corneal curvature data beyond standard 4-point keratometry
- High-volume optometry clinics equipping exam lanes with a full-featured brand-new autorefractor at a competitive price
- Multi-location groups adding a second ARK to reduce patient wait time without the overhead of a premium brand
