American Optical AO 11630

The American Optical AO 11630 is a used manual phoroptor built to the durable standards that have kept AO refracting instruments in service across optometric and ophthalmic practices for decades. Its dial-driven sphere and cylinder adjustments, combined with precise axis controls, give examiners a dependable tool for conducting subjective refraction exams with confidence. The mechanical simplicity of the design has helped this model remain a popular choice among practitioners who favor proven, easy-to-maintain equipment. This phoroptor supports the standard suite of clinical refraction tasks, including distance and near visual acuity testing, phoria and duction evaluation, and prism-based assessments of binocular vision. The auxiliary lens wheel accepts common diagnostic tools such as the Maddox rod, and the dual-aperture housing allows smooth alternation between eyes during testing sequences. Adjustable interpupillary distance settings help ensure the instrument can be fitted comfortably to a wide range of patients during longer exam sessions. Sold in used condition, this AO 11630 shows the wear expected from a working history in a clinical environment but continues to function properly for ongoing use. It is a solid choice for practices looking to add another dependable phoroptor to their exam lanes at a lower cost than purchasing new, and it is compatible with the standard mounting arms and stands found in most eye care offices.
