Nidek HandyRef-K Handheld Ref/Keratometer | Portable Eye Diagnostic
The Nidek HandyRef-K Handheld Ref/Keratometer is an advanced and portable diagnostic device designed for precise measurement of refractive errors and corneal curvature. It is an essential tool for ophthalmologists, optometrists, and eye care professionals who require accurate data in both clinical and field environments. With its lightweight, ergonomic design and cutting-edge optical technology, the Handheld Ref/Keratometer delivers superior performance and convenience, making it a trusted solution for modern eye diagnostics.
What is a Handheld Ref/Keratometer?
A Handheld Ref/Keratometer is a dual-function instrument that combines two critical eye diagnostic tools — a refractometer and a keratometer — into one compact device. It measures refractive power (for detecting nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism) and corneal curvature (used to fit contact lenses or detect corneal abnormalities).
Unlike traditional tabletop units, the Nidek HandyRef-K offers portability and flexibility, allowing eye specialists to perform tests efficiently in hospitals, clinics, or even remote areas where conventional equipment might be unavailable.
Key Features of the Nidek HandyRef-K Handheld Ref/Keratometer
