Clinical overview
Product overview
The OpticsMED AR-810A is the refraction-only version of the AR/K family — the device the technician sits the patient at for a quick sphere/cylinder/axis pre-test before the optometrist takes over. Automatic focus, automatic fogging target and motorised chinrest height combine into a pre-test that any trained technician can run in under two minutes per patient.
Key features
- Automatic focus — no manual joystick alignment
- Automatic fogging target relaxes accommodation for stable readings
- Motorised chinrest — operator-side height adjustment
- Auto-cut printer paper — no paper-tear bottleneck
- 5.7" colour LCD with adjustable viewing angle
- Vertex distance options 0.0 / 12.0 / 13.75 / 15.0 mm

FA-6100BK Auto Refractometer/Keratometer for Optometry Practice — Combined Refraction & Corneal Curvature Measurement
The FA-6100BK is the combined auto refractometer/keratometer variant in the FA-6100 family, adding corneal curvature measurement on top of objective refraction in a single workflow. Performing refraction and keratometry on one device cuts patient handling time and helps streamline pre-test for contact-lens fitting and routine eye exams. The desktop format suits optometry practices and eye clinics looking for one consolidated pre-test station. A practical step up from the refraction-only FA-6100B for offices that also need K-values.

FA-100 Automatic Auto Refractometer for Optometry & Eye Clinic — 3D Tracking with Touch Rotating Display
The FA-100 is a fully automatic auto refractometer designed for optometry practices and eye clinics that need streamlined objective refraction during routine exams. It combines 3D tracking with full auto operation, a hexagon-prism / CCD optical path and a 10.4-inch touch rotating screen so the operator can position and read without repositioning the device. Measurement ranges cover pupillary distance, axis and corneal radius/diameter for standard refraction workflows, and a small minimum pupil size supports patients with constricted pupils. A practical desktop refractometer for high-volume exam rooms.
