SightChek Digital Phoroptor
Reichert's value-tier digital phoroptor, part of the VisionChek Digital Exam Suite, with a wide refraction range and remote refraction support.
Overview
SightChek brings digital refraction to practices that could not justify a flagship system. It carries a wider sphere range than most refractors, integrates with EMR to remove transcription errors, controls the ClearChart 4 family, and supports delegated and remote refraction, including an official integration with the DigitalOptometrics tele-optometry platform. Reichert positions it as your introduction to digital refraction: technology, simplicity, and value.

Remote and delegated refraction, including DigitalOptometrics integration
