INTRODUCTION TO THE PHOROPTOR


Reference:

Clinical Procedures in Ocular Examination

(Nancy Carlson)
+

Refraction:
- is a vision test that determines
your best V/A with corrective lenses.
+
Can be done using:

  Auto refractometer
 Retinoscope

 Trial lens set


  Phoroptor Unit
+
Phoroptor Unit

  is a complex lens holder


  designed to allow the examiner
  to change lenses efficiently and easily.
