Customer reviews
4.3· 3 reviewsReliable for accommodative testing
The paired lens cells flip smoothly and the ±2.00 configuration is ideal for assessing accommodative facility in my younger patients. The frame is light enough to hold comfortably through a full binocular vision workup.
Dr. Helen Marsh, MD, FRCOphthNov 16, 2025
Solid everyday flipper
A dependable flipper for routine accommodative and vergence work. The lenses are well seated with no wobble, though I would have liked a slightly grippier handle for longer sessions.
