Technology

At our office, we use the Marco TRS-6100, one of the most advanced technologies available for determining prescriptions. While many optometry practices still rely on traditional phoropters—devices based on designs from the 1950s—we’ve upgraded to a modern digital system.

Older phoropters can be harder to clean, and dust between the lenses may make it challenging to detect subtle prescription differences. In contrast, our digital phoropter is fully enclosed, keeping the lenses clean and dust-free. It’s controlled by a specialized computer keypad, which reduces the chance of human error and allows prescriptions to be transferred directly into your electronic health record.

This technology also enhances the exam experience by letting the doctor display two options (“1 or 2”) side by side, making it much easier for you to notice even the smallest differences between lenses.
