Lensometers 

Measure dioptric lens power manually or automatically with our Lensometer (lensmeter) instruments: AL500 Auto Lensometer, AL200 Auto Lensometer, and ML1 Manual Lensometer. A good lensometer is imperative for efficient optical dispensing or optical laboratory work.

Training Eyes and Eye Models 

Anatomical eye ball models are ideal for education of any kind, including general medical eye anatomy, ophthalmology, optometry, and opticianry students. Schematic training eyes allow you to practice retinoscopy, ophthalmoscopy, and slit lamp biomicroscopy techniques. Special eye models greatly help the eye surgeon explain specific procedures to patients, such as cataract, IOL, and LASIK models. Vitreous floaters are easily and visualized using the Siepser Vitreous Floater Demonstrator model and a penlight.

Contact Lens Fitting / Keratometer / Topographer 

You will find patient supplies in this section such as the DMV Contact Lens Remover / Inserter, and Contact Lens Cases. Western offers corneal measurment and contact lens fitting instruments from Lensco Meter Attachment and Keratometer Instrument to the Radiuscope and complete Corneal Topography System. For many years Western manufactured rigid gas permeable lenses. As a result, we are particularly equiped to supply RGP modification units and RGP polishing supplies.

Vision Acuity Testing 

Visual Acuity Testing and Vision Screening can be performed at many levels. Western Ophthalmics provides options from integrated vision tester instruments such as the Titmus Vision Screener to individual tests such as the Ishihara Color Test, Stereo Fly Test, Lighted Eye Chart Cabinet, Krimsky Prince Rule, Prisms, Lang Stereo Test, Amsler Grid, Worth Four Dot Test, Phoria Measure, Preschool Test Cards, Opticokinetic Drum, Graduated E Cards, Sheridan Gardiner Test, Eye Charts, Near Point Acuity Cards, Translucent Acuity Charts, Occluders, Wall Muscle Light, and the Berens Accomodation Rule.

Western Ophthalmics has long been a resource for optometry students, missionary eye docotors, and optics educators, offering instruments such as the trial frame, trial lens set, skiascopic rack, confirmation test flippers and Jackson Cross Cylinder. Other specialty refracting instruments, such as prism bars, prism sets, and Jannelli/Halberg trial lens clips are available as well. The Hertel Exophthalmometer and B and L Type Mirror Exophthalmometer intruments are also found for diagnosis and treatment of exophthalmos.

Chart Projectors

Western Ophthalmics offers very high quality projection system components such as the First Surface Mirror, Viewing Mirror, and Acuity Screen for the refracting room.

Slit Lamps

Possibly the most essential ophthalmic instrument is the slit lamp. The Reichert slit lamps offered by Western Ophthalmics are well known for exceptionally high quality optics. Xcel 400 Slit Lamp features Haag-Streit-type tower design and has a 25x, 3 step drum microscope. Xcel 700 Slit Lamp is the most powerful instrument with its 40x, 5 step drum microscope. Xcel 255 Slit Lamp has the same mic as the 400, yet features Zeiss-type configuration.

Tonometers

Your ability to screen, measure and document IOP can be crucial. Western offers a variety of tonometers to fulfil your exact requirements. The Reichert 7 Auto-Non-Contact Tonometer is fast, accurate and extremely easy to operate. This new Reichert Tonometer is the ultimate IOP screening instrument. For non-contact portability, the Reichert PT100 Handheld NCT is a small air puff tonometer allowing you mobility and easy access to remote locations or disabled patients. Goldmann type applanation tonometers fit most standard slit lamp configurations, including the Reichert CT100 Tonometer for Haag-Streit-type, and the Reichert CT200 Tonometer for Zeiss-type. Please contact us regarding adapters for other slit lamps. Although the Tonopen hand-held applanation tonometer is still available for portable IOP measurement, Reichert has re-introduced the tonopen, with improved design, as the Tonopen AVIA. The Tono-Pen is often used in veterinary ophthalmology. Some eye physicians prefer the Schiotz Tonometer, which we continue to sell and service. Applanation tonometer prisms, also known as contact prisms or doubling prisms are in stock, ready for immediate delivery.

Lenses

Find just the right condensing lenses for binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and slit lamp indirect ophthalmoscopy including multi-lens sets, which are great for optometry students.

Ophthalmosocpes & Retinoscopes

The Ophthalmic hand instruments used in schools tend to become the instruments & brands of choice throughout an eye doctor's career. This can be an advantage when all of your ophthalmoscope / retinoscope / transilluminator heads and power handles are interchangeable among multiple refracing lanes and office locations, yet this can be a disadvantage if you forego a competing manufacturer's innovative new hand instrument, such as the Keeler TwinMag Ophthalmoscope or Welch Allyn Panoptic Ophthalmoscope for the same reason. Western Ophthalmics strives to offer all new ophthalmic instruments immediately, but also to stock the exact brands and models of hand instruments you prefer for as long as they are available.

Field Testing
