Automated Refraction

Say goodbye to the discomfort of trial frames and the lens-swapping routine during your eye exam. At Innovative Eye Care, we've embraced cutting-edge technology to make your eye examination quick, convenient, and precise. In all our consulting rooms, we've incorporated state-of-the-art Nidek autophoropters, while our Wakefield practice boasts the advanced Pentacam AXL Wave, and our Henley Beach practice utilizes an autorefractor—enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of your prescription assessment.

Autophoropter

A phoropter is a machine that stores all the range of lenses optometrists use to check your eye’s prescription. These are traditionally operated by hand to rotate different lenses into place. An autophoropter is exactly what it sounds like - it automates this process, so that during your eye exam your optometrist will only need to press buttons on a remote control to change to any combination of different lenses. This speeds up the time it takes to work out your prescription leaving more time to thoroughly check the health of your eyes and discuss other aspects of your vision. The autophoropter head can also test a range of near vision aspects to ensure your multifocals and bifocals give you the appropriate focus.

Pentacam AXL Wave

At our Adelaide practice, we are utilising the Pentacam AXL Wave—an innovation that goes beyond mapping the anterior segment of the eye. This remarkable technology objectively measures your refraction with exceptional accuracy. Consequently, your prescription determination becomes quicker and more precise, affording us more time to fine-tune and perfect your script.

The Pentacam AXL Wave doesn't just stop at accuracy; it is capable of wavefront aberrometry, which evaluate the passage of light through all ocular structures. This approach considers both lower- and higher-order aberrations, resulting in an exceptionally refined prescription.  

Our commitment to state-of-the-art technology ensures that your eye examination at Innovative Eye Care is not only efficient but also highly accurate. We prioritize your eye health and vision needs, providing you with the best possible care and ensuring that you receive the most precise prescription for your visual comfort and clarity.
