VOI2020 Testimonial - "I can't imagine practicing optometry without this system."
I want to thank you for letting me be a part of the group testing the Huvitz WaveFront Autorefractor and Abberometer. It is a remarkable combination of instruments.
I bought my first autorefractor around 1976. It was about the size of a Volkswagon and cost about $30,000. After we had it about a month my partner said "what in the hell did we buy that monster for? It's not nearly as accurate as my $90 retinoscope"! And it wasn't, but it did have patient appeal. That old wiz bang affect.
Over the years the autorefractors became much better and smaller but really not better then the old retinoscope....just faster and your tech could do it.
But this Huvitz Autorefractor/Abberometer is certainly better than the old retinoscope. It is remarkably accurate. For the most part as long as the eye is healthy it is bang on. Some refinement is necessary but very little. The cylinder and axis are usually right on the mark.
It saves so much time you can see more patients each day or devote more time to other aspects of your examination. Combined with the Huvitz Digital Refractor, it makes practicing optometry an absolute joy.
I can't imagine practicing optometry without this system.
