Combination refractometer, keratometer, tonometer introduced

PARIS — A combination autorefractometer, keratometer and tonometer unit from Nidek had its debut here at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons meeting.

Nidek’s TonoRef, or RKT-7700, “allows for fast and accurate measurement, so doctors can see more patients in their clinic,” said Kuntal Joshi, Nidek’s director of global marketing. “Also it is a huge space saver; now we have three instruments in one unit.”

Mr. Joshi cited company research indicating that the ophthalmic market has a “need for a combination product like this.”

Nidek also launched the LM-1000/P, an auto lensmeter, as well as the ME-1000, a multifunction lens edger, during the ESCRS meeting.

At the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting next month, Nidek will feature its new excimer laser, the Navex Quest, currently in clinical trials, Mr. Joshi said.
