Description
REMIDIO INSTAREF, R20 for Portable Refraction & Vision Screening
Mediscience offers the REMIDIO INSTAREF, R20, a compact handheld refractive measurement device designed for eye clinics, hospitals, optometry practices, vision screening programmes, mobile eye-care services and community eye camps. Using Shack-Hartmann Wavefront technology, the Instaref R20 provides objective measurement of spherical power, cylindrical power and astigmatism axis in a lightweight portable format.
With a 450 g device weight, USB and Bluetooth connectivity, and a handheld operating mode, the REMIDIO INSTAREF R20 is suited to eye-care professionals who require portable refraction equipment for clinical or screening applications.
The R20 measures sphere from -10.0D to +10.0D and cylinder from -5.0D to +5.0D, with astigmatism axis measurement from 1–180°. The optional docking station increases the overall weight to about 750 g, providing a convenient setup for fixed clinical use while retaining the device’s portability.

Shack-Hartmann Wavefront Refraction
The REMIDIO INSTAREF R20 uses Shack-Hartmann Wavefront methodology for objective refractive measurement. This technology allows the device to assess key refractive parameters without relying solely on conventional subjective refraction procedures.
The system measures spherical and cylindrical refractive power along with the axis of astigmatism, making it suitable for objective refraction and vision screening workflows.
Portable Handheld Design
The Instaref R20 Portable Refractometer is designed specifically for handheld use. At approximately 450 g, it can be conveniently carried between examination rooms, clinics or screening locations.
This makes the R20 particularly relevant for mobile eye-care programmes, eye camps, community vision screening and multi-location ophthalmic services, where compact equipment can simplify transportation and deployment.
USB & Bluetooth Connectivity
The R20 provides both USB and Bluetooth connectivity, allowing it to integrate into digital workflows where compatible systems are available.
Its connectivity options can be useful for eye-care facilities looking to incorporate portable refractive measurements into electronic data-management or screening workflows.
Applications
The REMIDIO INSTAREF R20 can be used for:
- Ophthalmology clinics
- Eye hospitals
- Optometry practices
- Optical and vision-care centres
- Mobile eye-care services
- Community vision screening
- Eye camps
- School vision screening programmes
- Occupational vision screening
- Portable refraction workflows
- Multi-clinic screening programmes
Its handheld configuration makes it especially useful where portable ophthalmic equipment is required for examinations outside a conventional fixed workstation.

Frequently Asked Questions
A handheld autorefractometer is used to obtain objective measurements of refractive error before or alongside subjective refraction. It can be particularly useful for preliminary vision assessment, screening and situations where a conventional tabletop autorefractor is impractical.
Clinical research has evaluated the InstaRef R20 against conventional objective and subjective refraction methods and found good agreement within clinically acceptable limits in the studied adult population. It has also been evaluated in paediatric populations.
The R20 provides objective refraction, but subjective refraction remains important when determining the patient's final accepted prescription. The device is best considered a tool that can support and streamline the refraction workflow rather than automatically replacing the complete clinical refraction process.
Yes. Its handheld design makes it particularly relevant to outreach programmes, community eye screening, school programmes and mobile eye-care services, where transporting and operating conventional tabletop autorefractors can be challenging.
