Nidek Handy Pachymeter HP-1000

The Nidek Handy Pachymeter HP-1000 is a used handheld ultrasonic pachymeter built to measure central and peripheral corneal thickness quickly and accurately. Using ultrasound-based measurement, the device provides precise corneal thickness values that are important for glaucoma risk assessment, refractive surgery planning, and general corneal evaluation. Its handheld design allows technicians to take measurements efficiently at the slit lamp or chairside, without requiring the patient to be positioned at a separate tabletop instrument. This pachymeter is particularly useful in glaucoma workups, where corneal thickness readings help clinicians properly interpret intraocular pressure measurements taken with a tonometer, as well as in pre-operative assessments for corneal and refractive procedures where thickness data guides surgical planning. Its portable form factor makes it convenient for practices that need to move the device between exam rooms or use it in outreach and screening settings. The straightforward probe-based measurement process is designed for quick, repeatable readings during patient visits. Offered here in used condition, this Nidek HP-1000 gives practices an affordable way to add dedicated pachymetry capability alongside their existing tonometers, rounding out a more complete glaucoma and corneal diagnostic toolkit. It is a practical choice for optometry and ophthalmology practices that want handheld flexibility without investing in a new unit.
