Customer reviews
4.3· 3 reviewsIdeal for paediatric screening
The handheld form and quick capture make objective refraction feasible in children and patients who cannot sit at a table-top unit. Readings are surprisingly consistent given how fast the measurement is.
Dr. Rosalind Fairfax, MDMar 29, 2026
Genuinely portable and useful
Light enough to carry to community screening clinics, and the battery lasts a full session. The sphero-cylindrical readings give a solid starting point for further assessment.

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.
