The VX65 is an automatic phoropter designed for subjective refraction analysis to determine a patient's eye correction and resulting prescription. It is a global system composed of an automatic phoropter head, an Android-based tablet for control, and an optional keyboard. The VX65 can be integrated into a complete refraction chain with additional accessories such as an auto refractometer, lensmeter, PC with patient data management software, and chart display. It can also control the VX22 chart display from the tablet. The device is intended for use by ophthalmologists, opticians, and optometrists.
