    Confused Does anyone use the TOPCON CL-200

    Does anyone use the Topcon CL-200 computerized lensometer? Our office bought one a couple of months ago and we are not happy with it. It never "locks in" on the power, it seems almost TOO sensitive, and never reads RX's exactly (just my opinion). I am used to the good old fashioned Marco lensometer or a B&L vertometer. Before I complain to the sales rep, I was wondering if anyone out there in Optics Land had any ideas or reviews they cared to share...thanks!

    Yes we just got one in our office. I finally got someone who knew how to work it to teach me. You have to lock the lens down and then move it gently because it is very sensitive. Most of the time the RXs are in tolerable rang. If it is +/- .25 then switch it to read in .12 increments and you'll find it will be closer to what is actually suppose to be. Reading a progressive it doesn't do great but you have to get all the way on the edge of the lense most of the time to get the add power to read correctly.
