Description
What’s Included
- Topcon CL-300 computerized auto lensmeter with built-in printer
- Power cable (as photographed)
- 90-day Digital Eye Center warranty
Condition & Warranty
Used. Tested before listing — color LCD touch panel verified, sphere/cylinder/axis measurement confirmed across single-vision, progressive, and contact lens modes, built-in printer functional. Cleaned. Note: the back cover does not close fully because one of the center pins is broken, so it stays slightly open (visible in the product photos); the unit is functionally sound otherwise. Per the seller: “No other accessories included. If a specific accessory is not shown on the pictures, it is not included” — the unit ships with only the items photographed (power cable). Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship.
Topcon CL-300 — Used Computerized Lensmeter with Color Touch Panel

The CL-300 measures sphere, cylinder, axis, prism, and PD with high precision, automatically detecting and measuring single-vision, multifocal/progressive, and contact lenses — eliminating mode switching for typical dispensary workflows. UV transmittance measurement and a marking device with ink cartridges round out the feature set. The built-in thermal printer outputs measurement records for chart insertion or patient hand-off.
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 — exactly the dispensary measurement task the CL-300’s progressive lens mode is designed for.
Why Practices Choose the CL-300
Large color LCD touch panel — modern UI replaces the dot-matrix display of older Topcon lensmeters; faster operator workflow.
- Auto lens-type detection — single-vision, progressive, and contact lens modes detected automatically; less mode-switching for the dispensary tech.
- Progressive lens measurement — refined PAL measurement workflow with diopter-distribution capture across the progressive corridor.
- Contact lens measurement — hard and soft contact lens diopter measurement modes.
- Sphere/cylinder/axis/prism + PD — full prescription parameter set in seconds.
- UV transmittance measurement — useful for sun lens evaluation.
- Built-in thermal printer — direct hard-copy output for chart insertion.
- Compact tabletop footprint — fits on standard dispensary counters.
Clinical Applications
- Routine spectacle measurement — single-vision and bifocal Rx verification at intake.
- Progressive lens diopter distribution — characterize corridor and add power for PALs.
- Contact lens verification — hard and soft CL Rx confirmation.
- Pre-cataract baseline Rx — pre-surgical glasses measurement for outcome comparison.
- Dispensary intake workflow — fast tech-driven measurement at the front desk before exam.
Who This Is For
- Optometry and full-service ophthalmology practices that run a dispensary and need a modern color-touch lensmeter.
- Multi-doctor groups standardizing on Topcon dispensary equipment across satellite locations.
- Practices replacing an older Topcon CL-100 (dot-matrix) with the upgraded CL-300 color LCD platform.
- Buyers who want auto lens-type detection and progressive measurement at a sub-$3.5K price point.
