ri-scope® retinoscope
The ri-scope® retinoscope, also referred to as the skiascope, measures the refractive power of the eye. Refractive flaws, such as near- and far-sightedness, as well as astigmatism can be detected and diagnosed. Riester offers the split-light retinoscope (glow is a stitch) model.
Easy to operate Retinoscope
Easy to operate with knurled thumb screw. The line image can be focused with the controls and turned 360º, angle read-out displayed on the integrated scale. Holder for hanging and placement of the fixation card into position for dynamic retinoscopy.

Features and benefits
-

- The slit-light retinoscope with a light beam in the form of a line, simplifies detection and diagnosis of astigmatic refractive flaws. The reflex in the form of a line is moved vertically to the axis across the pupils of the patient with a slight oscillating movement. A shadow moves in the same or opposite direction.

Co-movement (plus lines): The patient is far-sighted.
-
Counter-movement (minus lines): The patient is near-sighted.
