The Nidek ARK-1e is one of the most widely deployed objective refraction instruments in clinical optometry and ophthalmology. It delivers automated sphere, cylinder, and axis measurements alongside 9-point keratometry in a single compact tabletop unit, giving technicians both objective refraction and corneal curvature data without switching instruments or repositioning the patient. Auto-tracking and auto-shot detect the pupil, lock alignment, and fire automatically - making the ARK-1e ideal for high-volume pre-testing lanes and technician-assisted workflows. This used unit includes the chin rest and power cable; note the forehead band is missing (see images).
What's Included
