Automatic Refractor

Preliminary Examination

After being greeted by our friendly reception staff, your Visit will commence with a series of Preliminary examinations starting with the Auto-Refractor / Tonometer.
This device takes a series of automatic objective measurements of the eye.
These include:

• The diameter and curvature of the cornea
• The eyes focusing ability
• Intraocular pressure of the eye is measured as a screening test for the disease glaucoma. The device has the ability to monitor the effects of vibration-causing puffs of air onto the front surface of the eye (cornea)

High resolution digital images are then taken of the cornea with the  Corneal Topographer for:

• precision fitting of contact lenses
• monitoring of corneal shape variances
