A used phoropter (or photopter) is an instrument frequently used by optometrists and ophthalmologists during an eye examination. Used phoropters contain different lenses used for refraction of the eye during sight testing, to measure an individual’s refractive error and determine his or her eyeglass prescription.[1] Typically, the patient sits behind the used phoropter, and looks through it at an eye chart placed at optical infinity (20 feet or 6 metres), then at near (16 inches or 40 centimetres) for individuals needing reading glasses. The optometrist changes the lenses and other settings on the used phoropter, while asking the patient for feedback on which settings gave the best vision. Sometimes a retinoscope or an automated refractor is used to provide initial settings for the used phoropter. When this is done with an automated used phoropter like the Rodenstock AP 5000 Automatic Used phoropter, the auto refractor can  automatically update the initial settings for the photopter making the process even more efficient. 

 Used phoropters can also measure phorias (natural resting position of the eyes), accommodative amplitudes, accommodative leads/lags, accommodative posture, horizontal and vertical vergences, and more.

 The major components of the used phoropter are the JCC (Jackson Cross-Cylinder) used for astigmatism correction, Risley prisms to measure phorias and vergences, and the (+), (-), and cylinder lenses.

 From the measurements taken on the used phoropter, the specialist will write an eyeglass prescription that contains at least 6 numerical specifications (3 for each eye): sphere, cylinder, and axis.

 A simple used phoropter is used in conjunction with a retinoscope to determine refractive errors. Lens of varying focal lengths may be placed in the used phoropter. The lenses within a used phoropter refract light in order to focus images on the patient’s retina. The optical power of these used phoropter lenses is measured in 0.25 diopter increments. By changing these lenses, the examiner is able to determine the spherical power, cylindrical power, and cylindrical axis necessary to correct a person’s refractive error. The presence of cylindrical power indicates the presence of astigmatism which has an axis measured from 0 to 180 degrees away from being aligned horizontally.

 Used phoropters are made with either plus or minus cylinders. Traditionally, ophthalmologists use plus cylinder used phoropters and optometrists use minus cylinder used phoropters. One can mathematically convert figures obtained from either type of used phoropter to the other.

 Common Used phoropters
Two commonly used used phoropters include the Rodenstock Phorovist 200 used phoropter and the
Rodenstock AP 5000 Automatic Used phoropter Small, light and a compact design characterize this automatic used phoropter.

 Other commen used phoropters are the Reichert/AO Rx master  manual  Used Phoroptor™ Reichert Ultramatic (11625) Used phoropter, The Reichert RX Master Used Phoroptor™ The Shin-Nippon BR-10 Phoropeter, Topcon VT10 Used phoropter, Topcon VT-SE Used phoropter,  and the Woodlyn Classic Used phoropter.
