Topcon VT-5

This used Topcon VT-5 phoropter is a manual refraction unit built to support the subjective refraction step of a comprehensive eye examination. It gives practitioners hands-on control over sphere, cylinder, axis, and prism settings, along with auxiliary lenses like cross cylinders, letting them fine-tune a patient's prescription with precision. The unit has been inspected for mechanical smoothness and optical clarity and functions as expected for an instrument of its age and usage history. As a compact and simplified model within Topcon's phoropter lineup, the VT-5 is well suited for smaller exam lanes, satellite clinics, or practices adding a secondary refraction station without the expense of a fully automated system. Its dial-based lens changes and dual eyepiece housing follow the familiar layout that most eye care professionals are trained on, minimizing any learning curve when integrating it into a new location. It mounts to standard refraction stands and pairs easily with existing chart projectors. Being sold as pre-owned equipment, this VT-5 shows normal signs of clinical use but remains fully serviceable for everyday refraction work. It is a practical choice for optometry practices, community health clinics, and optical schools that need a reliable manual phoropter at a reasonable price point.
