Topcon CL-300 Lensmeter
What is it?
CL-300 is a computerized lensmeter manufactured by Topcon. A lensmeter or lensometer is an instrument that is used to verify the prescription of eyeglasses and sunglasses. The addition of special lens support can also verify the power of contact lenses. Topcon CL-300 combines innovative technology with ease-of-use features to measure the prescription. It utilizes an ultraviolet (UV) transmission measurement function that precisely measures the power of different lenses.

These measurements are then fed into the system, which then calculates the different lens parameters. The values are digitally displayed on the large LCD monitor. They can be recorded or printed as required.
What are its uses?
Topcon CL-300 Lensmeter is used by optometrists or eye doctors to determine and verify the correct prescription in your eyeglasses or contact lenses. They are also used to orient and mark uncut glasses properly so that your eyeglasses have the exact refractive power as required.
Topcon CL-300 can also be used before an eye examination if you have lost your eyeglass prescription. The lensmeter can determine your prescription from just your eyeglasses.

The lens parameters evaluated by Topcon CL-300 are:
- Sphere
- Axis
- Cylinder
What to expect while undergoing the test with the machine?
Remove your eyeglasses and hand them over to your ophthalmologist or optometrist. They will then place your eyeglasses, one side at a time, on the Topcon CL-300 lensmeter. You simply need to relax while the lensmeter figures out your eyeglass or contact lens prescription.
