Topcon CL-100 Lensmeter — Used Auto Lensmeter with Built-in Printer

The Topcon CL-100 lensmeter is the workhorse computerized auto lensmeter Topcon shipped before the CL-200 and CL-300 generations took over. It captures sphere, cylinder, axis, prism, and PD on single-vision and multifocal spectacles in seconds, with UV transmittance and a built-in printer for hard-copy chart documentation. This used topcon cl-100 lensmeter ships tested with a 90-day DEC warranty.

The CL-100 uses a green LED (546 nm) and a Hartmann sensor array to measure across a sphere range of ±25 D with 0.01 D resolution and 1° axis resolution. It handles progressive and bifocal lenses, hard and soft contact lenses, and includes a marking device with ink cartridges that print clearly even on coated lenses — important for cutting blanks accurately in the dispensary.

Per a National Library of Medicine-indexed reference (Optics Express, 2026), automated diopter-distribution measurement on progressive addition lenses is a documented optical-engineering challenge — and the auto-lensmeter category exists precisely to make that measurement quick and reproducible at the dispensary or pre-test station.

Why Practices Choose the CL-100

• ±25 D sphere range — covers virtually every spectacle prescription you’ll encounter.
• 0.01 D sphere/cyl resolution, 1° axis — clinically meaningful precision for verifying Rx and dispensary cutting.
• Progressive and bifocal handling — full multifocal lens measurement, not just single vision.
• Contact lens measurement — both hard and soft contacts, useful for verification and patient education.
• UV transmittance readout — quick check on whether sun-glass lenses meet UV protection claims.
• Built-in thermal printer — hard-copy chart documentation without requiring a workstation hookup.
• Marking device included — clear ink marks on coated lenses to support cutting and edging.
• Compact desktop footprint — fits on a pre-test counter or in a small dispensary without dedicated furniture.

Clinical Applications

• Pre-test verification of incoming Rx to compare against the patient’s reported prescription
• Dispensary cutting workflow — confirming sphere/cylinder/axis on Rx blanks before edging
• Progressive and bifocal verification with PD measurement
• Contact lens parameter verification for hard and soft lenses
• UV transmittance check on sunglasses and photochromic lenses
• Pediatric / school screening — quick lensmeter readings on incoming spectacle wearers

Who This Is For

• Optometric practices building a pre-test or dispensary lane on a budget
• Optical retailers verifying incoming Rx against prescribed spectacles
• Vision screening programs that need accurate spectacle measurement on uncooperative patients
• Optometry schools / residency programs needing a clinical workhorse for training
• Mobile clinics adding spectacle verification capability without a heavy desktop investment
