Bausch & Lomb Greens Phoroptor

This used Bausch & Lomb Greens Phoroptor is a manual refraction instrument that represents one of the earliest and most recognizable designs in the phoropter category. Named for its inventor, this style of unit set the standard for subjective refraction technique still used broadly across optometry and ophthalmology today, allowing the examiner to methodically dial in sphere, cylinder, and axis while the patient reports on visual clarity. It remains functional and can serve as a working instrument or as a well preserved example of classic ophthalmic equipment. Because of its historical design lineage, this Greens-style phoroptor is popular not only with practices seeking economical refraction equipment but also with collectors and educators interested in the history of optometric instrumentation. Its mechanical dials and lens wheels operate in a manner familiar to any trained refractionist, making it easy to put into service in a teaching environment or a lower volume clinical setting. The rugged metal construction typical of these units has allowed many examples to remain serviceable for decades. This unit is sold used and in working order, with cosmetic wear expected for its age. It is well suited for optometry schools, budget-conscious clinics, or collectors of ophthalmic instrumentation. Buyers should confirm mounting compatibility with their exam chair or stand before use.
