Description
What’s Included
- Leica 11625B minus cylinder phoropter (as photographed)
- Lenses cleaned and buttons lubricated as part of the supplier standard service
- 90-day Digital Eye Center warranty
Important note: The metal stand holding the phoropter in the listing photos is NOT included with this item. The phoropter ships alone — bring or buy a separate phoropter stand. Items not visible in the photos are not included.
Condition & Warranty
Used. Carefully checked, everything working well. The unit has been serviced — all lenses cleaned and all buttons lubricated before listing. Some signs of usage are visible in the product photos. Dial action and axis values verified. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.
Leica 11625B Phoropter — Used Manual Refractor
The Leica 11625B is the Leica-branded version of the 11625B manual phoropter platform — mechanically and optically identical to the Reichert 11625B that generations of optometrists trained on, distinguished only by the badge on the front. This used leica 11625b phoropter arrives inspected, dial action and axis values confirmed, and ships with a 90-day warranty at a $550 lower price point than the Reichert-branded equivalent.
The 11625B platform covers a sphere range of -19.00D to +16.75D and a cylinder range of 0.00D to 6.00D in 0.25D steps, with cylinder axis adjustment across the full 360° (double 0–180° scale) in 5° graduations. Pupillary distance adjusts from 48 mm to 75 mm in 1 mm increments, and prism is built in from 0 to 20 prism diopters with 1 PD graduations. Vertex distance reads at 13.75 mm normal with adjustment range extending another 6 mm.
Per a National Library of Medicine-indexed study (J Ophthalmol, 2026), subjective refraction performed with a manual phoropter remains the clinical reference against which autorefraction and wavefront aberrometry are validated — making the 11625B-class phoropter the gold-standard endpoint in a routine refractive workflow.
Why Practices Choose the Leica 11625B
Identical platform to Reichert 11625B at $550 less — same dials, same lens system, same mechanical action; only the badge differs.- Full sphere range -19.00 to +16.75 D — covers the vast majority of clinical refractions including high myopia and high hyperopia without auxiliary lenses.
- Cylinder 0–6.00 D in 0.25 steps — sufficient for most astigmatic patients; auxiliary cells included for higher cylinders.
- 360° cylinder axis (double 0–180° scale) — standard subjective refraction workflow with 5° graduations.
- PD 48–75 mm in 1 mm increments — pediatric through adult populations on a single instrument.
- Built-in prism 0–20 PD — handles binocular vision testing without a separate accessory.
- Cross cylinder ±0.25 included — refining cylinder axis and power without hand-held flippers.
Clinical Applications
- Routine subjective refraction in optometric and ophthalmologic practice
- Cylinder axis and power refinement using the integrated cross cylinder
- Pre-op refraction for cataract, refractive, and ICL surgery planning
- Binocular balance and vergence testing using the integrated prism
- Pediatric refraction across the full PD adjustment range
- Backup phoropter in a multi-lane practice or training environment
Who This Is For
- Optometry practices replacing an aging phoropter on a tighter budget than the Reichert-branded version
- Ophthalmology practices needing a reliable manual refractor in a secondary or pre-test lane
- Optometry schools and residency programs needing classic mechanical refractors for training
- Mobile clinics and outreach programs that need a service-friendly, electronics-free instrument
