Topcon builds the SOLOS as an automatic lens analyser for eye care practices, combining a mapping-type lensmeter, a full-range spectrometer,r and automatic marking. It measures single vision, bifocal and progressive lenses, framed or uncut, with sphere from −20 to +20 D, cylinder from −10 to +10 D, addition from −4 to +4 D and axis from 0 to 180° in 1° steps. Display steps include 0.01, 0.125, and 0.25 D, and PD reads monocular or binocular. Its spectrometer covers 315 to 800 nm, giving UV-A, blue, and visible light transmittance along with lens tint.

The steps where a reading can slip are handed to the instrument. A single touch starts the whole sequence of robotic positioning, lens type detection, measurement of both lenses in the frame,e and marking, so the result rests on the machine's positioning. Topcon designed this one-touch operation to reduce reliance on experienced users and to minimise human error. Results then travel over LAN or Wi-Fi to the EMR, a CV-5000S digital phoropter or a Chronos binocular refraction system, so no figure is copied by hand.

Lens mapping shows power and distortion across the whole lens, with grid overlays scaled to its real size, and a comparison mode sets two lenses side by side. Prism appears in Cartesian coordinates and can be fine-tuned through decentration. Single lenses from 22 to 80 mm across and up to 22 mm thick fit, as do spectacles 22 to 80 mm high with wrap up to 18°. A green e-line source lights the power measurement, readings appear on a 7-inch touch screen, and an internal thermal printer or a PDF report records them.

The unit measures 354 mm deep, 245 mm wide, de and 450 mm high. It is available to business buyers in more than 80 countries.

Optometry practices, ophthalmology clinics, dispensing opticians and optical retail use the SOLOS wherever spectacles and lenses are measured, checked or marked. Optometrists and ophthalmologists read a patient's current spectacles before refraction, dispensing staff check a finished pair at collection, and glazing technicians mark uncut lenses before edging.

The value for a busy practice lies in what the instrument takes over. Because it handles positioning, lens recognition, measurement, and marking itself, trained support staff can take the readings. Every reading follows the same automated steps, whoever starts it, which suits practices that spread measuring across several staff. Results travel over LAN or Wi-Fi to the EMR, a CV-5000S digital phoropter or a Chronos binocular refraction system, which keeps the figures in the record exactly as measured. Single lens, spectacle, and comparison reports are left as PDFs or printed on the internal thermal printer.

Progressive lenses get particular attention. Power and distortion maps show where vision stays clear and where it distorts, and comparison mode sets two lenses side by side, so a practitioner can show the wearer how a new design differs from the old pair. The spectrometer then quantifies UV-A, blue, and visible light transmittance from 315 to 800 nm, and its graph turns a conversation about protective coatings into figures the wearer can see. Chromaticity values give a tinted or sun lens a measured colour.

Sphere reaches ±20 D, cylinder ±10 D, and addition ±4 D, and single lenses from 22 to 80 mm fit, framed or uncut. Its 245 × 354 mm footprint suits a dispensing bench or a pre-test room, with LAN or Wi-Fi carrying results onward.

One touch from start to finish

A single touch takes a pair of spectacles from placement to marked lenses. Nobody centres a lens by hand before the reading.

Readings that rest on the machine

Topcon designed the operation to reduce reliance on experienced users and to minimise human error. Delegated readings follow the same automated sequence.

Results without retyping

LAN and Wi-Fi export sends each reading to the EMR, a CV-5000S or a Chronos system. The figures arrive as measured.

Lens type recognised automatically.

The SOLOS identifies single vision, bifocal and progressive lenses itself. The measurement then proceeds for that design.

Progressive designs made visible.e

Power and distortion maps show the clear zones and the distorted areas of a progressive lens. Grid overlays match the lens's real size.

Light protection in figures

The spectrometer reports UV-A, blue,ue and visible light transmittance across 315 to 800 nm. A graph makes coating benefits easy to explain.

Marking on framed or uncut lenses

Optical centre and axis are marked automatically on either form. Prism editing adjusts prism through decentration where needed.

Wide power range

Sphere runs to ±20 D and cylinder to ±10 D. High-powered spectacles are read in the same one-touch sequence.

Reports for every purpose

Single lens, spectacles, and comparison reports are produced as PDFs. Each carries lens data, transmittance,e and chromaticity.

Sphere, cylinder, and addition

Sphere spans −20 to +20 D, cylinder −10 to +10 D, and addition −4 to +4 D. Display steps include 0.01, 0.1,25 and 0.25 D.

Axis and notation

Axis reads from 0 to 180° in 1° steps. Cylinder is shown in minus or plus notation.

Lens types

The system automatically detects single vision, bifocal, and progressive lenses. Glazed spectacles and uncut lenses are both measured.

Lens size limits

A single lens can be 22 to 80 mm in diameter and up to 22 mm thick. Spectacle lenses from 22 to 80 mm high, with a wrap of up to 18°, are accepted.

Robotic one-touch operation

One touch starts the sequence: each lens is positioned automatically, its type detected, and both lenses of a frame measured. Centring is done by the instrument.

Lens mapping

Power and distortion maps cover the whole measured lens, with grid overlays scaled to the real lens. On progressive lenses,s they mark the optimal viewing areas and the zones of distortion.

Comparison mode

Two measured lenses sit side by side, with the differences in their optical characteristics highlighted. A comparison report records the result.

Full-range spectrometer

Spectral transmittance is measured from 315 to 800 nm. UV-A, blue UV,e and visible light transmittance appear as percentages.

Chromaticity

Lens colour and tint are captured as CIE chromaticity coordinates. Sun and tinted lenses get a measured colour description.

Automatic marking

The SOLOS marks the optical centre and axis on framed glasses or uncut lenses. Topcon describes the marking as aligning optical centres precisely with the visual axis.

Prism and PD

Prism displays in Cartesian coordinates and can be fine-tuned through decentration. PD is measured monocularly or binocularly.

Light source

A green e-line source illuminates the lensmeter measurement. Lens power is read in that green e-line light.

Touch screen

A 7-inch touch-screen LCD with 16 million colours shows readings, maps and graphs. Distortion maps and transmittance curves appear in full colour.

Printer and PDF reports

An internal thermal printer gives an immediate printout. PDF reports carry lens data, transmittance and chromaticity for single lenses, spectacles and comparisons.

Connectivity

LAN and Wi-Fi carry results to the EMR, a CV-5000S digital phoropter or a Chronos binocular refraction system. DICOM connectivity covers encapsulated PDF, lensometry export, and modality worklist.

Power and environment

Power is AC 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz, and the instrument operates between 10 and 40 °C. It weighs 8.0 kg net.

The SOLOS suits optometry practices, ophthalmology clinics, and dispensing opticians that measure many spectacles a day, want trained support staff to take readings, and dispense progressive or protective lenses. Its deciding strength is how much of the measurement it takes out of human hands: positioning, lens recognition, measurement, and marking all follow one touch, and the results reach the EMR, a CV-5000, S, S,o r a Chronos system without being retyped. Distortion maps and transmittance figures from 315 to 800 nm then give the dispensing conversation evidence the wearer can see. It is CE-marked as a Class I medical device, and its sphere range reaches ±20 D.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything buyers need to know about sourcing medical equipment through MediGear.

It reads sphere from −20 to +20 D, cylinder from −10 to +10 D, addition from −4 to +4 D, and axis from 0 to 180°, along with monocular or binocular PD and prism. The spectrometer adds UV-A, blue, and visible light transmittance, plus chromaticity for lens colour and tint.

The operator places the spectacles or an uncut lens and touches once. The SOLOS then positions each lens automatically, detects whether it is single vision, bifocal or progressive, measures both lenses in a frame and marks the optical centre and axis.

Power and distortion maps cover the entire surface of a measured lens, drawn with grid overlays at the lens's real size. For progressive lenses, the map separates the zones of clear vision from areas of distortion.

Across 315 to 800 nm, it gives the percentage of UV-A, blue, and visible light each lens transmits. Chromaticity values in CIE coordinates describe lens colour or tint, and the transmittance graph helps explain UV-A and blue light protection to someone choosing spectacles.

Yes. Marking of the optical centre and axis is automatic, on framed spectacles or uncut lenses. Where a prescription calls for prism, prism editing adjusts it through decentration.

Single lenses can measure 22 to 80 mm in diameter and up to 22 mm thick. Spectacle lenses from 22 to 80 mm high fit, with a wrap angle of up to 18°.

Readings print on the internal thermal printer or become PDF reports for a single lens, a pair of spectacles,s or a side-by-side lens comparison. Over LAN or Wi-, Fi they pass to the EMR, a CV-5000S digital phoropter,ter or a Chronos binocular refraction system. Topcon also lists DICOM connectivity covering encapsulated PDF, lensometry export, and modality worklist.

Comparison mode places two measured lenses next to each other and highlights the differences in their optical characteristics. A practitioner can set a new prescription beside the previous spectacles, and the comparison report records both.

It runs on AC 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz and works between 10 and 40 °C. The body is 245 mm wide, 354 mm deep, and 450 mm high, weighing 8.0 kg, and the printer uses thermal paper for printed results.

It is built for optometric and ophthalmic professionals measuring spectacles and single lenses. Because one touch runs the whole measurement, practices can delegate it to trained support staff.

The SOLOS is CE-marked as a Class I medical device under EU Regulation 2017/745, and Topcon classifies it as Class I under FDA 21 CFR as well. Topcon lists ISO 8598, the international standard for focimeters, for the instrument.
