Marco RT-700-LED Phoropter — Brand New with Built-in LED Illumination
The Marco RT-700-LED phoropter is the illuminated evolution of the classic manual refracting head, pairing Marco’s proven precision optics with a built-in internal LED background illuminator. Continuously adjustable LED lighting illuminates the sphere, cylinder, and axis scales, so technicians and clinicians can read every value clearly even in a dimmed exam lane. Configured here in a Plus Cylinder layout, this brand-new Marco RT-700-LED phoropter is ideal for practices that refract in plus cylinder or specialize in pediatric vision care.
A fully synchronized axis and cross-cylinder system keeps the cross cylinder aligned with the cylinder axis for reliable astigmatism measurement, while white prism, accessory, and cross-cylinder scales aid recognition in low light. Research indexed in the National Library of Medicine evaluating phoropter-based refraction confirms the phoropter’s central role in accurately determining spectacle prescriptions.
Why Practices Choose the Marco RT-700-LED
- Continuously Adjustable Internal LED — Infinitely adjustable LED illumination lights the sphere, cylinder, and axis scales for effortless readings in dim exam lanes
- Fully Synchronized Axis / Cross-Cylinder — The cross cylinder rotates in step with the cylinder axis dial, streamlining astigmatism checks and reducing axis errors
- High-Performance Marco Optics — White prism, accessory, and cross-cylinder scales improve visibility and readability in low-light conditions
- Comprehensive Auxiliary Lens Dial — Retinoscopic lens, polarizing lens, white and red Maddox rods, red and green filters, +0.12 sphere, pinhole, dissociating prisms, fixed cross cylinder, and occluder
- Rotary Risley Prisms — 0Δ to 20Δ per eye in 1Δ steps for phoria and binocular assessment
- Wing-Grip Ergonomic Design — A functional wing-grip and smooth knurled knobs make positioning the refractor head and adjusting dials easy and consistent
- Precise Convergence and Vertex Control — Convergence adjustment from infinity to 400 mm and a defined vertex distance support accurate high-power prescriptions
Clinical Applications
- High-Precision Manual Subjective Refraction establishing exact prescriptions for eyeglasses, reading additions, and prismatic corrections
- Low-Light Lane Operations using the internal LED scale illumination to maintain a dark exam environment for sensitive or pediatric patients
- Phoria and Binocular Vision Assessment leveraging the built-in rotary Risley prisms and Maddox rods to isolate and quantify ocular imbalances
- Classic Refraction Lanes equipping traditional manual lanes with brand-new, factory-fresh LED-illuminated reliability
Who This Is For
- Optometrists and Ophthalmologists who prefer the direct tactile control of a manual phoropter with the convenience of illuminated scale readouts
- New Clinic Builds and Lane Expansions seeking a brand-new, factory-warranted primary refracting head
- Plus-Cylinder and Pediatric Practices requiring a Plus Cylinder configuration in a new, out-of-the-box instrument
