Detailed Information
Fully-automated measurement
1. Automated eye detection
Once the patient is properly positioned on the chinrest, the NIDEK eye detection camera (NEDC) automatically detects the eyes allowing for precise alignment and measurement. This unique detection and positioning system enables a “complete” fully-automated measurement process that increases patient and operator comfort.
2. 9 languages for voice guidance
For fully-automated measurements, the ARK-F/AR-F includes 9 languages for voice guidance. This acts as a bridge between your staff and patients with language barriers to facilitate accurate and directed communication for a smooth measurement process.
3. Easier eyelid support
| The fully-automated measurement and the tilt and swivel functions of the screen allow easier access to the patients’ eyelids compared to the conventional units. |  |
Remarkably easy workflow through fully-automated measurement
Accurate measurement
Large pupil zone imaging method
| The large pupil zone imaging method enables the measurement of wider area refraction up to 6 mm diameter and can indicate the difference between the wide area refraction and central area refraction of up to 3.5 mm diameter. |  |
Super luminescent diode and highly sensitive CCD
| Incorporation of the super luminescent diode (SLD) provides a sharper and clearer image compared to a conventional LED. The highly sensitive CCD detects the ring image even if the fundus reflection is weak. |  |
Keratometry measurement with mire ring (available for the ARK‐F)
| The mire ring is used to measure keratometry. It reduces eyelid artifacts. |  |
Intuitive manual operation
| Manual measurement with the touch screen can also be performed with the ARK-F/AR-F. Simply selecting and holding a position on-screen and an icon allows alignment. |  |
A variety of options to meet your needs
Joystick
| Models are available with or without a joystick. The 4-direction button of the newly-designed joystick allows smooth movement of the measuring unit forward, backward, right, or left. |  |
Hand-held control (wired/wireless)
| Ergonomically designed palm-fit controller offers an all-new handling experience. Simple and well-organized button layout provides excellent single-handed operation. It can be stored in a dedicated holder which can be attached to either side of the ARK-F/AR-F. | 
Wireless type of hand-held control |
Tablet control software
| When using a tablet as a controller, the screen of the ARK-F/AR-F is duplicated on the tablet screen. It is even possible to measure with the same accuracy and comfort from a remote location. |  |
Flexible and space‐saving design
Large tilt and swivel monitor
| Since the screen can be freely tilted and swiveled, the ARK-F/AR-F can be placed anywhere in an examination area. Flexible layout and space-saving design contribute to improved productivity and efficiency. |  |
