Topcon CV-5000

This used Topcon CV-5000 is an automated computerized phoropter designed to bring speed and consistency to the subjective refraction exam. It integrates with Topcon's chart projector and refraction software to allow the examiner to control lens power, axis, and prism settings remotely through a keypad or connected computer interface, reducing the manual handling required at the patient's headrest. The unit has been tested for proper motorized operation and functions as expected for a system of its age. The CV-5000 supports a full suite of refraction routines, including automated cross cylinder testing, binocular balance checks, and customizable exam sequences that can be tailored to different patient needs. Its computerized design helps standardize the refraction process across multiple examiners in a practice, which is valuable for clinics running several exam lanes with rotating staff. It also stores patient refraction data for reference, streamlining record keeping alongside the refractive workup itself. As a pre-owned unit pulled from active clinical use, this CV-5000 displays normal cosmetic wear but remains a capable and efficient automated refraction system. It is well suited for busy optometry and ophthalmology practices looking to modernize a refraction lane with proven automated technology at a lower cost than purchasing new.
