What is computerized eye Testing?
By looking through the retinoscope, the doctor can study the light reflex of the pupil. Based on the movement and orientation of this retinal reflection, the state of the eye is measured. An auto-refractor is a computerized instrument that shines light into an eye.
If you have had your eyes really tested completely you would have had to go through the following tests also.
1.Visual Acuity
2.Slit lamp examination (magnified binocular microscopic examination of the eyes)
3.Tonometry (intra-ocular pressure recording)
4.Fundus examination (examining the inside of your eye), either dilated or un-dilated
5.Retinoscopy after cyclopegia (measuring your spectacle power after instilling dilating drops)
