Righton Phoroptor RX-800

This is a used Righton Phoroptor RX-800, a manual refraction unit built for optometric and ophthalmic practices that need dependable subjective refraction on a daily basis. The unit presents the standard array of spherical and cylindrical lenses along with prisms and auxiliary lenses arranged for smooth, quiet rotation, letting the examiner move quickly through a refraction sequence without breaking patient concentration. Dials and lens wheels are clearly marked so that both the practitioner and any support staff can read settings at a glance during the exam. The RX-800 supports the full range of subjective refraction tasks including sphere and cylinder power changes, axis rotation, Risley prism adjustments, and near point testing accessories. Its mechanical build reflects the era of dependable, low maintenance phoropters that many practices still favor for their tactile precision and long service life. The housing shows normal cosmetic wear consistent with clinical use, and the optics and mechanics have been checked to move freely without binding or excessive play. A phoropter like this remains central to comprehensive eye exams performed by optometrists, ophthalmologists, and vision screening clinics, particularly in practices that prefer manual instruments for their consistency and lack of dependence on electronics. Buyers seeking an economical, reliable replacement or backup unit for an existing exam lane will find this Righton model to be a solid fit. It is sold as used equipment and is offered as functional refraction equipment for a clinical setting.
