ri-scope® retinoscope

ri-scope® retinoscope

The ri-scope® retinoscope, also referred to as the skiascope, measures the refractive power of the eye. Refractive flaws, such as near- and far sightedness, as well as astigmatism can be detected and diagnosed. Riester offers to models: the spot-light retinoscope (the glow is a circle) and the slit-light retinoscope (glow is a stitch).

Features and benefits

l   Available with XL 3.5 V xenon lamp or HL 2.5 V halogen lamp

l   The slit-light retinoscope with a light beam in the form of a line, simplifies detection and diagnosis of astigmatic refractive flaws. The reflex in the form of a line is moved vertically to the axis across the pupils of the patient with a slight oscillating movement. A shadow moves in the same or opposite direction.

l   Co-movement (plus lines): The patient is far-sighted.

l   Counter-movement (minus lines): The patient is near-sighted.

l   Easy to operate with knurled thumb screw. The line and spot image can be focussed with the controls and turned 360°, angle read-out displayed on the integrated scale.

l   Holder for hanging and placement of the fixation card into position for dynamic retinoscopy.

l   Delivered with two fixation cards. The patient’s eye can adjust optimally to the distance to the retinoscope.

l   Integrated eyeglass protection

l   Bayonet fitting for quick and secure attachment to the handle

l   Dust-proof, very sturdy and light casing made of impact-resistant ABS plastic
