Reichert 11636 – The Gold Standard in Refraction
The Reichert 11636 is widely considered the premier manual refractor in the industry, set apart by its integrated illumination. This feature lights up the power and axis scales, allowing doctors to work efficiently in dimmed environments without needing external light sources. This used Reichert 11636 offers the precision and legendary tactile feel that has made the “Phoroptor” name a global trademark for quality in vision care.
