MEDICO AUTO LENS METER

An auto lens meter, also known as an automatic lensmeter or automated lensmeter, is a sophisticated optical device used to measure the prescription of eyeglass lenses. Here are some key features and benefits:

Key Features:

1. Automatic Measurement:

   • Automatically detects the lens type and adjusts measurement settings accordingly, saving time and improving accuracy.

2. Digital Display:

   • Equipped with a digital screen that provides clear and easy-to-read measurements.

3. Measurement Capabilities:

   • Sphere, Cylinder, and Axis: Measures spherical and cylindrical power as well as the axis of astigmatism.
   • Prism Measurement: Can measure prism displacement, which is important for certain prescriptions.
   • Add Power for Bifocals/Progressives: Can measure the additional power for multifocal lenses. 

4. User-Friendly Interface:

   • Intuitive controls and interfaces, often with touchscreen capabilities, making it easy to operate even for those new to the technology.

5. Built-In Calibration:

   • Many auto lens meters come with self-calibration features to maintain accuracy over time.

6. Data Storage and Connectivity:

   • Some models can store measurements and connect to practice management software, facilitating record-keeping and patient management.

7. Compact Design:

   • Generally designed to be space-efficient for easy placement in an optical office.

Benefits:

• Efficiency: Saves time in measurement, allowing for quicker patient throughput.
• Accuracy: Reduces human error associated with manual measurements.
• Versatility: Can measure a wide range of lens types, including single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses.
• Ease of Use: Simple operation allows optometrists and opticians to focus more on patient care rather than complex measurement processes.

Applications:

Auto lens meters are commonly used in:

• Optometry clinics
• Optical retail stores
• Eye care hospitals
• Vision research laboratories
