After trialling a couple of options we went with this and the value at this price point is hard to beat. Delivery took a touch longer than quoted. Worth it on balance, with the caveats above.

FA-6800 high-speed auto refractometer with 9" touchscreen and customisable measurement modes — the premium pre-test autoref for high-volume optometry chains.
Clinical overview
The OpticsMED FA-6800 is the high-speed premium autorefractor — measurement time halved compared with conventional autorefs, and a customisable settings layer that lets each operator configure their preferred diopter step, vertex distance, cylinder mode and measurement mode independently. The 9" TFT touchscreen is large enough to share with the patient when reviewing results.
| Sphere | -20 to +20 D (0.125/0.25 D step) |
|---|---|
| Cylinder | -8 to +8 D |
| Axis | 0–180° |
| PD | 45–88 mm |
| Corneal radius | 5.0–10 mm |
| Power | 110/110V/220V ± 10 %, 50/60 Hz, 50 VA |
| Dimensions / weight | 483 × 268 × 452 mm / ~16 kg |
High-volume optometry chains where the halved measurement time translates directly to patient throughput gains. Also fits operations where multiple operators share the same machine and need per-operator settings preservation.

This has quickly earned its place in our exam room — it's stayed accurate and reliable throughout. Delivery took a touch longer than quoted. Worth it on balance, with the caveats above.

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.

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.

The WZ-981 is a compact auto refractometer for routine objective refraction in eye-care inspection / measurement settings. Manufactured by Shanghai Jiahui Optical Instrument Co. Ltd, it covers the standard sphero-cylindrical refraction workflow on a single chair without the integrated keratometry of the WZ-981KR variant. Designed for optometry practices and dispensing chains that handle keratometry on a separate device or do not need it routinely. A practical entry to the WZ-981 platform for everyday refraction.

The WZ-981KR is the keratometry-equipped variant of the WZ-981 platform, adding corneal curvature measurement to the sphero-cylindrical refraction workflow on the same chair. Manufactured by Shanghai Jiahui Optical Instrument Co. Ltd, the unit covers both refractometer and keratometer duties for eye-care inspection / measurement settings that want a single combination device. Designed for optometry chairs and clinics where refraction and keratometry are routine on every patient. A practical mid-tier combination unit for daily refraction.

The FA-6100B is the auto-refractometer model in the FA-6100 family, configured for objective refraction without the integrated keratometry of the BK/CK variants. It is aimed at optometry practices and eye clinics that want a dedicated refraction unit in their pre-test workflow. The desktop format and operator-facing controls keep technician training simple and patient turnover quick. A practical choice for routine sphere/cylinder/axis measurement in everyday exam rooms.

The AR-1 is an auto refractometer for objective refraction measurement in optometry and ophthalmology examination rooms. It is intended as the starting point of a subjective refraction workflow, providing a baseline sphere, cylinder, and axis reading before phoropter refinement. The instrument is suited for primary eye-care clinics that need a standalone auto refractometer for routine eye exams. It is supplied as a desktop unit for the refraction lane.

The KR-9800 is an auto refractometer / keratometer with a 7-inch touch screen that pivots through 90 degrees for flexible operator positioning. Built-in modes cover pupil measurement, retro-illumination, IOL measurement, contact lens fitting and pre-surgical evaluation for LASIK candidates, with auto-tracking and motorised chinrest to keep alignment quick. Designed for optometry chairs and refractive-surgery clinics that need refraction, keratometry and pre-op screening in one unit. A versatile combination unit for mixed-workload eyecare practices.
