 Refraction

The refraction is a vision test that determines your best visual acuity with corrective lenses.  It can be done with computerized equipment, but typically an instrument called a phoropter is used.  The phoropter holds corrective lenses that are positioned in front of your eye.  While looking at the eye chart through the phoropter, the technician or doctor will adjust the lenses until the chart appears the clearest possible.
