Nidek announced the launch of its LM-1PD/1P/1 auto lensmeter, introducing an updated platform designed to improve lens measurement accuracy, visibility, and ease of use for eye care professionals.
The LM-1 series incorporates a larger display and redesigned icons compared with previous Nidek lensmeter models. According to the company, the updated measurement interface uses intuitive icons to simplify operation and improve the visibility of measurement information.
A key technical update is the use of simultaneous measurement at 161 data points within the nosepiece. The expanded measurement capability is intended to support accurate and efficient assessment of ophthalmic lenses. Nidek has also introduced an enhanced measurement algorithm designed to improve measurements in the near-vision area of low-power progressive lenses, which can present challenges because of relatively subtle changes in lens power.
“The LM-1 series delivers effortless operation without compromising precision.” says Motoki Ozawa, President and CEO of NIDEK CO., LTD. “This new lensmeter leverages NIDEK's long-standing expertise in lensmeter technology, with enhancements and advances that meet the evolving needs of today's eye care professionals. We believe it will be welcomed by a wide range of eye care facilities."
The LM-1 series is available in the LM-1PD, LM-1P, and LM-1 configurations,.
