Jackson Cross Cylinder Plastic Set of 2


Jackson Cross Cylinder Plastic Set of 2 is a lightweight clinical refraction tool used for refining cylindrical power and axis during subjective refraction. The set usually includes two cross-cylinder lenses of different powers, commonly used to improve the accuracy of astigmatism correction.

Product Code: JCCP2

Jackson Cross Cylinder Plastic Set of 2 is an essential optometry and ophthalmology refraction instrument used to fine-tune astigmatic correction after the approximate cylinder power and axis have been determined. Each Jackson Cross Cylinder lens contains equal plus and minus cylindrical power placed at right angles to each other, allowing the practitioner to compare two lens positions quickly by flipping the lens in front of the patient’s eye. The instrument is commonly used during subjective refraction to refine cylinder axis and cylinder power while the patient views a visual acuity chart or suitable target. By asking the patient which position gives clearer vision, the examiner can make accurate adjustments to the prescription. The plastic version is lightweight, easy to handle, and suitable for routine clinical use, student training, optical shops, refraction rooms, and screening setups. The lenses are typically mounted in a durable plastic frame with clearly marked axes and power indicators for quick identification during examination.
