Reichert Phoroptor VS

This used Reichert Phoroptor VS is a modernized refracting instrument built on the trusted Phoroptor platform that generations of eye care professionals have relied on for manual subjective refraction. The VS designation reflects Reichert's updated vision series design, which retains the familiar dial and knob layout that experienced examiners already know while improving the internal optics and ergonomics for smoother lens changes during an exam. It supports a full range of sphere, cylinder, and axis adjustments along with prism and other auxiliary lenses needed to determine a patient's best corrected visual acuity. Optometrists and ophthalmologists use this phoroptor daily to conduct comprehensive refractive exams, from basic distance and near vision testing to more detailed binocular vision assessments. The instrument's dual apertures allow for simultaneous or alternating testing of both eyes, and the auxiliary lens system makes it straightforward to perform tests such as the Maddox rod, Risley prism, and Jackson cross cylinder evaluations that are central to determining eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions. Its balanced counterweight and adjustable interpupillary distance mechanism help ensure patient comfort throughout longer exam sessions. Because this unit is sold used, it has already seen service in a working practice and shows normal signs of use consistent with its history, though it remains fully functional for continued clinical use. It is a practical choice for a new practice looking to outfit an exam lane economically or for an existing office adding a backup unit, and it will integrate easily into any standard refraction workflow already built around Reichert or compatible phoroptor mounting hardware.
