Pediatric Autorefractor plusoptiX A09

Refraction measurement for babies and children over glasses and contact lenses at nystagmus for non-cooperative patients Pupil measurement pupil size pupil dynamics

The plusoptiX A09 is a binocular handheld autorefractometer named "Emily".

 

1) Application

In a matter of seconds, the plusoptiX A09 simultaneously measures the refraction of both eyes (binocular) at one meter distance from the child.

The measured values correspond to the results of a retinoscopy in un-dilated pupils.

The measurement can also be executed in cycloplegia. However, it is to be noted that the pupils do not become larger than 8 mm in diameter. One diopter must be extracted from the measured refraction values. This correction is required because the plusoptiX A09 is designed for measurements in miosis. One diopter for accommodation at one meter distance is to be considered in the measurement result.

 

2) Advantages

The measurement at one meter distance is reliable and delegable. Even children with nystagmus and uncooperative patients can be measured in less than one second with the plusoptiX A09. It is possible to measure refraction over already existing glasses or contact lenses. If a retinoscopy in cycloplegia is necessary, it proceeds quickly due to the existing measurement values, especially from cylinder and axis, and you have a comparison value. The plusoptiX A09 considerably simplifies the initial examination of babies and toddlers in your practice.

 

3) Measurement results

• Refraction (sphere, cylinder and axis)
• Symmetry of corneal reflexes
• Pupil diameter and pupil distance

 

The one meter measurement distance prevents the usual device accommodation with autorefractometers and therefore delivers no false myopic results.
