Phoroptor VRx sets new standards in digital refraction.

With the thinnest, most compact design available, incredibly fast lens exchanges, motorized prisms, split cylinder lenses, and ultra-quiet operation, Phoroptor VRx offers an outstanding patient experience.

The touchscreen display and ergonomic keypad features a multi-function control knob with unmatched feel and versatility. The intuitive interface has all the pre-programmed and programmable tests you’ll need for an exceptional user experience.

Phoroptor VRx connects to EMR systems as well as numerous models of pre-test and acuity devices from both Reichert and non-Reichert brands, for effortless integration.

Inventing and reinventing. Reichert’s legacy in refraction continues.

For over 90 years, the Phoroptor® name has been synonymous with the world’s finest refracting instrument. Phoroptor® VRx continues with the same legendary engineering, quality, craftsmanship, and reliability – now with the speed and efficiency of a digital refraction.

Smallest design. Biggest impression. See more of your patient. See more patients.

With the most compact digital refractor head available (12.2 W × 8 H × 2.8 D in. at a 64 mm PD), Phoroptor VRx is non-intimidating and allows for greater patient visibility. The sleek, refined and high-tech styling of Phoroptor VRx will impress all your current patients and help gain new ones.

Impressively thin. Thinnest Phoroptor yet.

To prevent patients from experiencing tunnel vision, Phoroptor VRx has the thinnest lens profile amongst digital refractors, at 26 mm. In fact, Phoroptor VRx has a thinner profile than a manual Phoroptor.

Retractability. Unique prism lenses.

To achieve the thinnest lens profile, Phoroptor VRx has external motorized prism lenses that slide in and out only as needed.

Refined interior & exterior. Premium parts and assembly.

Premium motors and metal housing provide Phoroptor VRx with incredibly fast and ultra-quiet lens exchanges. Unlike other digital refactors, your patients will hardly notice the lens movement. Phoroptor VRx is designed and hand-assembled by skilled technicians in Buffalo, New York, USA.

More cylinders. More horsepower. Jackson Cross Cylinder, Smart Cylinder, and Split Cylinder.

Refinement of cylinder power and axis can be accomplished using the familiar Jackson Cross Cylinder or the innovative Smart Cylinder method where cylinder power and axis are automatically bracketed based on the amount of cylinder in the patient’s prescription. Phoroptor VRx also features a Split Cylinder mode, where patients are simultaneously presented with two targets.

Selectable drive modes. Pre-programmed & programmable tests.

To increase efficiency and allow refraction to be delegated to trained technicians, Phoroptor VRx has pre-programmed and programmable test options. You can choose from pre-programmed tests including astigmatism, phoria, binocular balance, and near vision. Customize up to four user programmable sequences that can be easily modified or conveniently shared between multiple Phoroptor VRx systems.

Precise handling and control.

The Phoroptor VRx controller features a logically and ergonomically arranged keypad, designed to enhance the user experience. Buttons are grouped based on functionality for easy access: gray for data, blue for refraction, and black for acuity. Buttons are also LED backlit for better visibility in dimly lit exam rooms.

Bluetooth® comes standard.
Wirelessly connected.

Bluetooth is built into the Phoroptor VRx Central Unit and Reichert Bluetooth adapters can be paired to connect an external instrument wirelessly.

Multi-function knob.

The Phoroptor VRx multi-function control knob is smooth rotating and has a solid feel comparable to the Ultramatic RX Master™ Phoroptor® dials you know and love, for unmatched control knob versatility

Instant comparison. Quickly compare prescriptions.

With a single touch, switch between final, subjective, unaided, auto refractor, or lensmeter data, allowing your patient to instantly visualize the difference in prescriptions.

Your digital dashboard. 10.4 inch touchscreen display.

You can access all functions and settings of the intuitive user interface, through the integrated 10.4 inch tilting, touchscreen display.
