Hey guys,
its been a while since I've been around. Howdy!!. I am getting ready to pack up a pupilometer to send it to Hilco for calibration. Does anyone have a clue as to how much they charge (they won't tell me over the phone) and/or is there an option #2 to sending it to Hilco?
Catch me before I call to Fed Ex!!
Check with this place:

They bought up what was once RH Burton. They may be able to help!
*I just called, they do still refurb and clean lensometers!
Option number 2 is always to do it yourself.
I'm guessing that Hilco won't quote you over the phone because they charge depending on how much work they actually have to do and how long it takes them. I would request that they at least quote you a price once they've looked over the lensometer and BEFORE they actually do any work on it.
I've had good experience with RH Burton, though that was years ago. Good to know that they are still (sort of) around.
Called Burton and went straight to message. Will call again in a little while. About doing it myself, gosh, where do I start? do you know how to do it?
To all, thanks .. ;-)
Ok, yeah, now that I've learned how to read....Quote:

First, are you sure it needs to be calibrated?
Did everyone miss it or just ignore the question or does it even matter? Roset is speaking of a PUPILOMETER. Not a Lensometer.Quote:

hmmmm maybe I need my eyes checked :nerd:
I wondered how long this would go before someone realized roset was asking about a pupilometer. To keep from starting my own thread. . . I've got an old Hoya pupilometer that I'm pretty sure needs calibrating, but I can't find any contact information on whom to ask for help. My office stopped using their labs quite a while before I ever started working here, and we've moved locations almost 2 1/2 years ago, so there's no telling where any documents are with Hoya's info. Probably in storage where I'll never see it. Any suggestions??
It"s not that I am cheap . . . I am thrifty.Quote:

Correction that used to be the gold standard, now its pupilometers with digital centration devices on the horizon.Quote:

Ours gave false readings constantly I found out that the headrest was crooked, bend it back and things were back to normal again.
I once talked to our supplier about calibrating pupillometers but they told me just to get a new one because calibration wasn't possible. Turds.
I prefer the ruler above all. It's foolproof unless I'm hung over. :p
I found this number for Essilor sales and service for CRP's, don't know if it's still good. 888-202-4906
The # is correct 888-202-4906, they sell and reapir Essilor PD scopes.
Good Luck!
