Further modulation transfer function curves illustrate the effect of spherical aberration. These theoretical results are compared with analogous experimental data obtained at different wavelengths with quasi-monochromatic illumination, using a double-pass photo-electric, scanning instrument. The comparison shows that the approximations of geometrical optics predict ocular performance quite well, provided that the errors of focus are reasonably large (greater than or equal to 0.5 DS for a 5-mm entrance pupil).

{"title":"Recent developments in automatic refraction.","authors":"H A Knoll","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>A detailed description of the Ophthalmetron is given. This is an automatic refractometer using the principle of infra-red retinoscopy and having a sensitivity range from -18.00 D to +17.00 D with a resolution of 0.25 D. By means of a rapid light scan across the patient's pupil the instrument determines the direction of motion of the retinal reflex in all meridians and a movement null-point is determined electronically. Results are then plotted automatically on a chart drum. Some early validation studies have shown the Ophthalmetron to provide a refraction end-point in good agreement with conventional retinoscopic findings.
