Reichert RK 600 Autorefractor Keratometer – Used

Description

What’s Included

• Reichert RK 600 autorefractor keratometer unit
• Power cable
• 90-day Digital Eye Center warranty

Condition & Warranty

Used. This Reichert RK 600 autorefractor keratometer has been inspected, tested, and confirmed to deliver accurate refraction and keratometry measurements. The unit shows signs of usage consistent with prior clinical use and is missing the rubber forehead rest band — all measurement functions are fully operational. No instruction manual included — power cable only. Covered by a 90-day warranty on parts and workmanship from Digital Eye Center.

Autorefractor Keratometer — Used Reichert RK 600

The autorefractor keratometer Reichert RK 600 delivers fast, accurate objective refraction and keratometry measurements in a compact tabletop design purpose-built for high-volume optometry and ophthalmology practices. The RK 600 autorefractor keratometer performs seven distinct measurement modes — from standard sphere/cylinder/axis refraction to contact lens base curve and IOL measurements — all accessible through a familiar joystick control and backlit LCD color monitor. Its integrated thermal printer with automatic paper cutting provides an instant hard-copy printout at each exam, eliminating the need for a separate printer connection. This pre-owned unit has been inspected and verified to be in proper working condition.

The clinical value of objective autorefraction has been well established in peer-reviewed literature. The National Library of Medicine published a clinical evaluation of autorefractor instruments confirming that modern table-mounted autorefractors deliver accurate, repeatable refractive measurements comparable to subjective refraction, making them a standard component of efficient optometric and ophthalmic practice. The Reichert RK 600 autorefractor keratometer applies these validated measurement principles across a wide clinical range.

Why Practices Choose the Reichert RK 600 Autorefractor Keratometer

• Seven measurement modes in one instrument — Performs refraction only, keratometry only, combined refraction + keratometry, kerato-peripheral, contact lens base curve, IOL measurement, and PD measurement from a single instrument, reducing the need for separate devices.
• Integrated thermal printer — Automatic paper cutting delivers an immediate results printout at the end of each exam — no cable, no separate printer, no delay between measurement and patient documentation.
• Joystick control and auto-capture — Familiar joystick alignment and automatic measurement trigger keep the exam moving quickly even with high daily patient volumes or less experienced technicians.
• 2.3 mm minimum pupil diameter — Three-step target light adjustment and a 2.3 mm minimum pupil size expand measurement success in patients with small pupils, miotic medications, or challenging fixation.
• LCD color monitor — Clear icon-based interface lets operators select measurement modes, view results, and navigate menu settings without referring to the manual, reducing training time for new staff.
• PD measurement included — Pupil distance is automatically computed from bilateral measurements and can be printed directly on the results slip, supporting same-day spectacle orders.
• Contact lens base curve measurement — The optional contact lens holder enables direct base curve measurement of soft and rigid lenses, adding contact lens fitting capability to the same exam station.
• Proven accuracy at lower cost — Independent comparisons of the RK 600 against other tabletop autorefractors confirmed its measurement accuracy is equivalent to instruments that sell for significantly more new.

Clinical Applications

• Pre-exam refraction screening — Delivers objective starting point sphere/cylinder/axis values that technicians record before the subjective refraction, reducing chair time at the phoropter.
• Keratometry for contact lens fitting — K-readings from the autorefractor keratometer provide the corneal curvature data needed for soft and RGP contact lens base curve selection.
• Pre-operative IOL planning — The IOL measurement mode supports cataract surgical planning where corneal power data is needed alongside biometry.
• Pediatric and low-cooperation patients — Fast auto-capture and low minimum pupil diameter improve measurement success in children and patients who are difficult to keep fixating.
• Contact lens base curve verification — Measures the base curve of existing contact lenses, useful for fitting confirmation or when the patient cannot recall their current lens parameters.
• High-volume general practice — Integrated printing and automatic capture make the RK 600 autorefractor keratometer well suited to practices seeing 30+ patients per day across multiple exam lanes.

Who This Is For

• Optometry and ophthalmology practices that need a reliable, all-in-one autorefractor keratometer for daily refraction screening at an affordable pre-owned price.
• Cataract and refractive surgery centers requiring integrated keratometry for pre-operative corneal measurements alongside objective refraction.
• Contact lens practices that benefit from the base curve measurement mode for fitting and verification workflows.
• Multi-lane optical practices that want a mid-tier autorefractor keratometer in every exam lane without the capital cost of a new premium instrument.
• International and export buyers looking for a compact, robust used autorefractor keratometer with broad compatibility and proven performance.
