Detailed Information

True open-field binocular refraction

 

PHANTOM™ revolutionizes refraction—no lenses in front of the eyes. This open-field binocular refraction system provides a comfortable and highly accurate examination under natural viewing conditions.

PHANTOM™ technology

· Refraction can be performed without lenses in front of the eyes, at a specified testing distance, without moving physical charts.
· Refractive errors are corrected by virtual lenses simulating the same optical properties as real lenses.
· Virtual optical power is created by adjusting the internal lenses and mirrors, delivering the required dioptric values and testing distances.

Natural vision, real precision

· Objective refraction:
With open-field testing, the system minimizes instrument myopia, accommodative instability, and pupil size fluctuations—delivering highly accurate results in a visual setting that closely resembles everyday life.
· Subjective refraction:
Testing under binocular viewing conditions ensures well-balanced measurements between both eyes, producing values that closely match the final prescription.

A WOW experience with floating charts

The image appears to float in space, allowing patients to undergo testing while maintaining a natural forward gaze.
Simple refraction
To optimize the testing flow, simply input the subject’s responses, and the PHANTOM™ algorithm automatically adjusts sphere, cylinder, and axis—enabling seamless subjective refraction.

Easy for anyone, intuitive to use

· The system features a touch screen interface for quick learning and simple operation.
· The intuitive, streamlined interface reduces training time and effort.
· On-screen guidance ensures smooth examination, even for staff with limited experience.

Quick and efficient examination — under 4.5 minutes*

· Optimized algorithms enable quick and easy examinations.
· High measurement accuracy reduces the need for extensive final checks.
· Shorter overall testing times allow greater patient throughput.

Team-based task sharing

High-accuracy, simple refraction enables task sharing across the team, allowing eye care professionals to concentrate on final checks and complex cases.

 

Why it matters:

› Task sharing to reduce bottlenecks in the workflow and increase throughput

› Improved clinical efficiency and quality of care

Patient-tailored testing distances

Distance can be set quickly and easily from the home screen, allowing each patient to be tested at their preferred viewing distance without moving the device or measuring distance manually.

 

Why it matters:

› Easy to recommend the ideal prescription

› Appropriate glasses tailored to the patient’s intended use

 

Advanced capabilities

Manual mode for professionals

Like a conventional refractor, the operator can change patient prescriptions manually and freely select from a variety of charts.
Manual mode can be used for final check / refinement after simple refraction.
Additionally, phoria can be measured objectively, streamlining ocular alignment screening.

PHANTOM™ patient-driven test*1

Patients can complete the open-field binocular refraction—from objective to subjective.
It improves efficiency, while open-field binocular conditions and a dedicated PHANTOM™ algorithm ensure high accuracy.

Operation from a different location*2

The eye care professional provides the final check / refinement from a different location after subjective refraction with PHANTOM™.

 

*1 The patient proceeds with the subjective refraction and determines the full correction by using PHANTOM™. Staff perform the final check / refinement.

*2 Operation from a different location can be performed by remote operation of the computer. NIDEK does not include or provide the functions or software necessary for remote communications.

*3 Not all languages can be added. For the details, please contact your authorized distributor.
