Refurbished ARK-1a Autorefractor and Keratometer

The Marco ARK-1a is a multimodality device that includes autorefraction and keratometry. This automated instrument measures with objective accuracy and features accommodation testing and retro-illumination. The accommodation helps to detect early presbyopia, latent hyperopia and children with reading difficulty. The retro-illumination benefits patient’s in viewing and understanding their cataracts. Super luminescent diode (SLD) makes it possible to accurately measure patients with cataracts, corneal opacities, IOLs, and post LASIK procedures. It also utilizes a multiple pupil zone imaging method combined with rotary prism technology, and auto alignment EyeTracking System on the X-Y-Z axes ensuring consistent, accurate, reliable and repeatable data

Super Luminescent Diode (SLD)

Super Luminescent Diode is an edge-emitting semiconductor light source based on super luminescence. It uses the high power and brightness of laser diodes providing a sharper image compared to LED. It allows for quick and accurate measurements of patients with cataracts, corneal opacities, IOL’s, and post LASIK.

Confidence Index Indicator

The confidence index indicator helps to clarify the reliability of the data obtained by the ARK-1a. The confidence index number can range from 3 to 9 and gives the operator an indication of the clarity and quality of the ocular media. A value near 9 means the data is very repeatable and consistent. Values of 6 or below indicate media opacity or highly irregular optics.

The Eye Tracking System

The Eye Tracking System provides X, Y, Z axes tracking for superior alignment and focusing. The ARK-1a automatically initiates measurement at the optimal alignment.

Accomodation

Accommodation testing helps to detect early presbyopia, latent hyperopia, and children with reading difficulty.

Dual Zone

Exclusive dual zone refractive measurement utilizing double-ring technology to measure two pupil zones supplies information based on pupil size and provides more robust objective data as a starting point for subjective refractions.

Retro Illumination

The ARK-1a Autrefractor & Keratometer features retro illumination which illustrates media opacity in both the cornea and lens.
