Kowa PR-2 Phoroptor

Available here is a used Kowa PR-2 Phoroptor, a manual refraction instrument built for routine subjective refraction in optometric and ophthalmic practices. It provides the standard complement of sphere and cylinder lenses, near vision auxiliary lenses, and Risley prisms, giving the examiner what is needed to conduct a complete refraction from distance through near testing in a single instrument. The dial and lens wheel arrangement follows a familiar layout that makes the unit easy to operate for practitioners accustomed to manual phoropters. As a mechanical device, the PR-2 offers the reliability and simplicity that keeps this class of instrument in active use across many practices, without reliance on electronic calibration or software updates. This example shows expected cosmetic wear from years of clinical use, while the lens wheels rotate smoothly and the prism controls operate with normal resistance. It mounts to a standard phoropter arm or stand, allowing straightforward integration into an existing lane. Instruments of this kind support the daily work of optometrists and ophthalmologists performing subjective refraction to establish eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions. The Kowa PR-2 is well suited for practices seeking a dependable manual phoropter as either a primary refraction tool or a backup unit. It is sold as used clinical equipment ready for continued service.
