  2. Eye examination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_examination

    An eye examination, commonly known as an eye test, [1] is a series of tests performed to assess vision and ability to focus on and discern objects. [2] It also includes other tests and examinations of the eyes. [2] Eye examinations are primarily performed by an optometrist, ophthalmologist, or an orthoptist.

  3. Duochrome test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duochrome_test

    A duochrome test is a test commonly used to refine the final sphere in refraction (undercorrection and overcorrection), which makes use of the longitudinal chromatic aberration of the eye. Because of the chromatic aberration of the eye, the shorter wavelengths (green) are focused in front of the longer red wavelengths.

  4. Subjective refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subjective_refraction

    Subjective Refraction is a technique to determine the combination of lenses that will provide the best corrected visual acuity (BCVA). [1] It is a clinical examination used by orthoptists , optometrists and ophthalmologists to determine a patient's need for refractive correction, in the form of glasses or contact lenses.

  5. Autorefractor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autorefractor

    By measuring this zone, the autorefractor can determine when a patient's eye properly focuses an image. The instrument changes its magnification until the image comes into focus. The process is repeated in at least three meridians of the eye and the autorefractor calculates the refraction of the eye, sphere, cylinder and axis.

  6. List of instruments used in ophthalmology - Wikipedia

    to correct refractive errors of the eye; not invasive Contact lenses: to correct refractive errors of the eye; a little invasive Phoropter: used in refraction testing Tonometers: used to determine the intraoccular pressure (IOP) - useful in glaucoma; video link for various types of tonometers. Speculum: to keep the eyes open during any operation

  7. Refractive error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Refractive_error

    When an eye focuses light correctly on to the retina when viewing distant objects, this is called emmetropia or being emmetropic. This means that the refractive power of the eye matches what is needed to focus parallel rays of light onto the retina. A distant object is defined as an object located beyond 6 meters (20 feet) from the eye.
