Nikon NR-5500

The Nikon NR-5500 is a used tabletop autorefractor built to provide objective measurement of a patient's refractive error quickly and accurately. It has served as a dependable pre-test instrument in optometry and ophthalmology practices, offering clinicians a reliable starting point before proceeding with subjective refraction. This pre-owned unit has been inspected for proper function and shows normal wear consistent with routine clinical use. The NR-5500 measures sphere, cylinder, and axis using an infrared optical measurement system, with an internal fixation target designed to help control patient accommodation for more accurate readings. Its joystick-controlled alignment mechanism makes the instrument approachable for technicians of varying experience levels, while its measurement speed helps maintain good patient throughput in busy clinics. The device's straightforward interface and printed output support efficient record keeping and workflow integration. This autorefractor is appropriate for general refractive screening, pre-exam data collection, and contact lens candidate evaluation. It represents a solid, budget-conscious option for practices looking to add reliable objective refraction capability to an exam lane without investing in a brand-new instrument.
