Condition & Warranty
Used. This Reichert 11625 Plus Cylinder Phoroptor has been fully overhauled, deep-cleaned, and optically re-aligned by experienced ophthalmic technicians. All internal lens banks have been meticulously inspected and cleaned to eliminate internal dust, film, or finger grease. The sphere, cylinder, and axis gear trains operate with crisp, smooth detents and zero mechanical backlashes or sticking points. The interpupillary distance (IPD) adjustment, convergence levers, and spirit level operate smoothly across their entire mechanical range. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.
Reichert 11625 Plus Cylinder Phoroptor — Used Precision Diagnostic Refractor
The Reichert 11625 Phoroptor is globally recognized as the definitive gold standard in manual subjective refraction. Engineered and hand-assembled in the USA, the 11625 Plus Cylinder model provides eye care professionals with smooth, highly tactile control over sphere, cylinder, and axis adjustments during routine vision testing.
Built with legendary precision mechanical gearing, the Reichert Phoroptor completely eliminates lens drift and optical misalignment. The illuminated dial scales and synchronized cross-cylinder mechanisms allow practitioners to rapidly refine cylinder power and axis metrics without taking their eyes off the patient. This pre-owned unit offers an ultra-durable, maintenance-free centerpiece for any primary refraction lane.
Research published in the National Library of Medicine confirms that high-precision manual refractors like the Reichert Phoroptor remain an essential, irreplaceable baseline for verifying subjective patient refraction, binocular vision balance, and phoria measurements prior to final ophthalmic lens prescribing.
Why Practices Choose the Reichert 11625 Phoroptor
-
Gold-Standard American Precision — Engineered with heavy-duty metal casing and precision-cut brass gears for decades of smooth, drift-free optical operation
-
Plus Cylinder Optical System — Configured specifically with plus-cylinder lenses ($\text{+}$ cylinder convention), ideal for hyperopic/astigmatic refractions favored by classical practitioners
-
Synchronized Cross-Cylinder Mechanism — Integrated Jackson Cross-Cylinder ($\pm 0.25\text{ D}$) automatically correlates with the cylinder axis dial to streamline fine astigmatic testing
-
Illuminated Dial Scales — High-visibility illuminated numerical windows ensure effortless reading in dim refraction room environments
-
Smooth Tactile Controls — Ultra-fluid sphere adjustment knobs (quick-dial and fine step controls) provide fast, comfortable refraction steps
-
Comprehensive Auxiliary Lens Suite — Features built-in rotary prisms ($0\text{ to }20\,\Delta$), Maddox rods, occluders, pinholes, and polarizers for full binocular and muscle balance evaluations
Clinical Applications
-
Subjective Distance & Near Refraction determining accurate sphere, cylinder, and axis prescriptions for eyeglasses and contact lenses
-
Binocular Vision & Phoria Diagnostics utilizing integrated rotary prisms and Maddox rods to quantify phorias, tropias, and fusional reserves
-
Astigmatic Refinement Protocols utilizing synchronized cross-cylinder flipping mechanisms to fine-tune cylinder power and axis angles
-
Presbyopic Near-Add Assessments deploying the near-vision reading rod and chart assembly to evaluate accommodation and determine add powers
