Phoropter (High Quality) TW-1450E: A refraction instrument used by the examiner to test lens power and determine a patient's eyeglass or contact lens prescription.
What a phoropter does in your practice
A phoropter (refractor) holds every lens an optometrist needs for subjective refraction in one head, so sphere, cylinder, axis, prism and binocular balance can be tested quickly and precisely. Manual phoropters are reliable and affordable; digital phoropters speed up the test and link to an auto refractometer and chart.
What to look for
- Sphere and cylinder range and step size (0.25 D steps are standard)
- Manual for simplicity and price, digital for speed and connectivity
- Cross cylinder, Risley prism and near-point rod included
- Mounting arm to fit your refraction unit

Frequently asked questions
Manual or digital phoropter?
A manual phoropter is reliable, affordable and needs no software. A digital phoropter speeds up the test, stores results and can connect to an auto refractometer and chart for a faster, consistent routine. Busy practices often recover the extra cost in time saved.
Does the phoropter fit my refraction unit?
Phoropters hang on a mounting arm. Most units take a standard arm, and we check that the phoropter and arm you choose fit your unit before we quote.
