Clinical overview
Product overview
The OpticsMED ARK-8500 is the throughput-tier sibling of the ARK-7610 — same Hartmann imaging-and-processing platform, but with motorised horizontal/vertical/back-force focus that removes the manual joystick step. The combination of < 0.5 s measurement time and motorised alignment pushes daily pre-test capacity beyond what manual-focus units can achieve.
Key features
- Hartmann-type refractor
- High-definition clear retina image with new optics
- High-speed image acquisition and identification
- Flip 8" TFT touchscreen
- Motorised horizontal, vertical and back-force focus
- < 0.5 s average measurement time
- 57 mm thermal printer with auto cut
- Light energy < 30 μW (measurement safety)
- Wide-voltage power supply (100–250 V)

FA-6500K Auto Refractometer/Keratometer for Optometry Practice — Economical Tiltable 7" Touch Screen Model
The FA-6500K is positioned as an economical auto refractometer/keratometer combining objective refraction and corneal curvature measurement in a single workflow. A 7-inch tiltable TFT touch screen lets technicians angle the display for comfortable operation when working at the patient. The combined refraction + keratometry design is well suited to optometry practices fitting contact lenses or running high-volume routine exams. A budget-friendly desktop option for clinics consolidating pre-test on one device.
FA-8000K Auto Refractometer/Keratometer — Premium Motorised Refraction Unit with 9" TFT Display
The FA-8000K is a premium auto refractometer / keratometer with a 9-inch TFT LCD, motorised joystick, auto-tracing and auto-focus controls, integrated keratometer and hexagon-prism optics with a sensitive CCD. The tilting screen keeps the operator's neck neutral across long refraction sessions, while configurable vertex distances and a wide sphere and cylinder range support both adult and paediatric refraction. Designed for the high-end refraction room where speed, comfort and repeatability matter together. A premium combination unit for high-volume optometry and ophthalmology lanes.
FA-100K Auto Refractometer/Keratometer — Fully Automatic 3D Tracking Refraction & Keratometry Unit
The FA-100K is a top-tier auto refractometer / keratometer that combines hexagon-prism optics with a CCD sensor and a 10.4-inch tilting touch screen. Fully automatic operation — auto eye-finding, auto measurement, and automatic transition between right and left eye — keeps refraction lane throughput high with minimal operator intervention. 3D auto-tracking maintains alignment through small patient movement. Designed for high-volume optometry chairs and specialty refraction lanes that want a hands-off refraction and keratometry workflow.
RK-8000 Auto Refractometer & Keratometer for Optometry Practice — Hartmann Wavefront Combined Refraction
The RK-8000 is a combined auto refractometer and keratometer for routine refraction and corneal curvature measurement. It uses Hartmann Wavefront technology with split-image auto focus, and provides sphere, cylinder, axis, PD, and corneal radius readings on a 9-inch TFT LCD with built-in thermal printer. USB and RS232 interfaces support EMR and lensmeter integration. The device is intended for optometrists, opticians, and ophthalmologists in optical retail refraction rooms and general eye clinics.
KR-9600 Auto Refractometer/Keratometer for Optometry Practice — Combined Refraction & Corneal Curvature Workstation
The KR-9600 is a desktop auto refractometer/keratometer combining objective refraction and corneal curvature measurement in a single workflow. Running both tests on one device cuts patient handling time during pre-test and supports contact-lens fitting where K-values are required. The desktop format suits optometry practices and eye clinics looking for a consolidated pre-test station. A practical choice for offices that want refraction and keratometry on one instrument.
