Topcon KR-800s Autorefractor Keratometer with Visual Acuity — Used
The Topcon KR-800s is Topcon’s autorefractor/keratometer with an integrated electronic visual acuity chart — a combined instrument that performs objective autorefraction, keratometry, and subjective VA testing from a single compact pre-testing unit without a separate chart projector or VA lane. The Topcon KR-800s builds on the proven Topcon KR-800 autorefractor platform, adding an onboard LCD VA chart that presents distance and near acuity optotypes directly on the instrument for the subjective portion of the pre-testing workflow. This used topcon kr-800s allows pre-testing staff to complete the full refractive workup — objective sphere, cylinder, axis, K-readings, and VA — in a single instrument pass, streamlining the lane workflow and reducing the equipment footprint for practices adding or upgrading their pre-testing capability. Available at $7,700 with a 90-day Digital Eye Center warranty.
Research published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine comparing close-field and open-field autorefractometry with subjective refraction confirms that autorefraction provides a reliable objective starting point for clinical refraction — the workflow that instruments like the Topcon KR-800s are designed to support and accelerate in the pre-testing lane.
Why Practices Choose the Topcon KR-800s
Integrated electronic VA chart — no separate projector required — the KR-800s incorporates a built-in LCD visual acuity chart display that presents distance and near optotypes immediately after the autorefraction measurement; practices with space or budget constraints can eliminate a separate chart projector and VA system by using the KR-800s as a complete pre-testing station
- Autorefraction — objective sphere, cylinder, and axis measurement — the KR-800s delivers the objective refraction reading used as the starting point for subjective refraction; the autorefraction result guides the phoropter starting position, reducing chair time in the exam room and increasing the efficiency of the full refraction workflow
- Keratometry — corneal radius and power readings — keratometry measurements from the KR-800s provide corneal curvature data (K-readings) used for contact lens base curve selection, IOL power calculation, and astigmatism axis confirmation; the combined AR/K measurement eliminates a separate keratometer for practices that need both
- Topcon KR-800 platform — proven autorefraction accuracy — the KR-800s is built on the Topcon KR-800 autorefractor platform with an established track record in ophthalmology and optometry pre-testing lanes; Topcon autorefractors are used globally as the objective refraction standard in clinical and research settings
- Complete pre-testing in one instrument — reduced footprint, faster workflow — autorefraction, keratometry, and VA testing from a single compact unit reduces the number of instruments in the pre-testing lane; the KR-800s workflow delivers the three primary pre-testing data points — objective refraction, corneal curvature, and visual acuity — before the patient reaches the exam chair
- Used at $7,700 with 90-day warranty — full AR/K/VA capability at accessible pricing — the used KR-800s provides the integrated autorefractor, keratometer, and VA chart combination for a fraction of new-instrument pricing; 90-day warranty included; practices upgrading from a basic autorefractor or adding VA chart capability without a projector benefit most from this configuration
Clinical Applications
- Pre-testing workflow — complete refractive workup before the exam room — the KR-800s allows pre-testing staff to measure objective refraction, K-readings, and VA in sequence without repositioning the patient; the data set arrives with the patient before the phoropter is opened, accelerating the subjective refraction and increasing exam room throughput
- Contact lens fitting — AR and keratometry for base curve selection — objective sphere and cylinder from the autorefractor plus corneal radius from the keratometer support soft and RGP contact lens fitting; the KR-800s provides the two measurements required for initial lens selection without a separate instrument for each
- IOL planning support — K-readings for biometry workflows — keratometry values from the KR-800s supplement optical biometry data for IOL power calculation; practices using A-scan or optical biometers can use KR-800s K-readings as a cross-check or backup when primary biometer K-readings are questionable
- Pediatric and general screening — efficient multi-measurement capture — the combined autorefraction and VA in one instrument reduces total pre-testing time per patient; useful in high-volume screening environments, pediatric practices with limited patient cooperation windows, and general optometry or ophthalmology pre-testing lanes
- Post-refractive surgery monitoring — objective AR check — autorefraction provides a quick objective check of the post-LASIK or post-PRK refractive outcome before subjective refraction; the KR-800s supports the post-surgical follow-up workflow with objective AR and VA documentation in the same visit
Who This Is For
- Practices replacing or adding a pre-testing autorefractor with VA capability — the KR-800s replaces a basic autorefractor plus chart projector with a single instrument; practices with constrained pre-testing lanes or those transitioning from a projector-based VA system to an integrated solution benefit from the combined footprint at $7,700 used with 90-day warranty
- Optometry practices adding keratometry to their autorefractor workflow — practices currently running a basic autorefractor without K-readings can upgrade to the KR-800s to add keratometry for contact lens fitting and IOL planning without purchasing a separate keratometer
- Multi-lane practices standardizing pre-testing instruments — the KR-800s provides consistent autorefraction, keratometry, and VA data across pre-testing lanes; practices standardizing their refraction starting-point data across multiple exam rooms can deploy used KR-800s units at a lower per-lane cost than new instruments
- Ophthalmology practices with high-volume pre-testing — the combined AR/K/VA workflow reduces pre-testing time per patient; high-volume surgical and medical ophthalmology practices benefit from the faster pre-testing throughput the KR-800s enables compared to separate instruments for each measurement
